Ingredients:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large sweet potatoes or yams
Other Items Needed:
A large charcoal or wood fire
Directions:
Make the maple-cinnamon butter. Place the butter in a mixing bowl and whisk until light and fluffy. Whisk in the maple syrup and cinnamon. Transfer to a bowl or ramekins and refrigerate until serving.
Build a fire and let it burn down to glowing coals. Rest the sweet potatoes on the embers. Using tongs or a hoe, rake any loose coals around the potatoes.
Roast until the skins are charred and the centers are soft, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Turn the potatoes with tongs from time to time to ensure even roasting. Use a slender metal skewer to test for doneness; it should insert easily.
Remove the potatoes from the coals and brush away the ashes. Let cool for a few minutes, then cut each in half and place on plates or a platter for serving. Serve in their skins (not edible) with the maple-cinnamon butter.
