| | Baked Sweet Potatoes with Lime 2 to 2 1/2 pounds (2 very large or 3 medium large) Sweet potatoes or yams
3 to 4 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to taste
1 tablespoon of mild flavored honey, such as clover or acacia
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, melted, optional
A pinch of salt |
|
Preheat your oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. Scrub the sweet potatoes or yams and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, until they are thoroughly soft and a sweet sugary syrup is beginning to ooze onto the foil. Remove the potatoes from the oven and peel when cool enough to handle. Mash with a fork or potato masher or puree in a food processor along with the lime juice, honey, butter and salt. Serve at once or transfer to a lightly buttered baking dish and heat through for 20 minutes in a 350ºF. oven. Back to Mexican Recipes |
