Crash Hot Sweet Potatoes

I got this from Pinterest too....adapted my recipe from Dlyn. Jeremy told me he wasn't so sure about them while I was making them, but raved about them after he ate them....and he ate about 4 or 5 of them the night I made them. He also raved about them to both of our families and told me that I HAD to make them again....so I guess I will.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium or 1 large sweet potato (I had 1 HUGE one....I guess they are growing well this year)
• 1 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1/8 tsp. garlic
• 2 tbsp. melted butter
• 2 tbsp. oi

Steps:

• Peel and Cut the sweet potato(es) into disks (about 1-1/2 inches thick)

• Preheat oven to 375
• Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add in potatoes, and let boil for 10-12 minutes....just until soft, but not soft enough for them to fall apart or be cooked through, they still need some form to them. (let them sit in the pot for 10-12 minutes....don't wait on the water to start boiling again if it stops.....it's easiest to just put them in the water for 10 minutes only)
• Drain potatoes, and let cool for about 10 minutes
• Blend spices and sugar together well in a small bowl.

• Melt butter, and add oil in a separate bowl
• Place some wax paper on your baking sheet, place the potatoes on the wax paper, and squash each potato slightly with a fork - just to flatten them out a little, but don't flatten them out so much that they start falling apart.
• Drizzle the butter/oil mixture on the tops of all of the potatoes, then sprinkle some of the spice mixture on the tops, pressing down into the potato slightly.
• Turn each potato over on your wax paper, and repeat the butter/oil and then the spice mixture.

• Roast potatoes for 15 minutes, remove from oven, turn them all over and roast for an additional 10 minutes.  (they will have a little brown/caramelized appearance to the edges - to give it a little crisp) if they look this way, they are done.....just eyeball it, it won't hurt if they need to stay in for another minute or 2. 

• Serve with main dish of your choice (we had sweet onion steak with caramelized onions)

• DELICIOUS!  and of course....Enjoy!
