Radiator Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1.5 tbp flour, mixed with salt and pepper
  • vegetable oil or Pam
Cut the sweet potato into even-sized sections (about 5). Make a series of slices that run 3/4 of the way through the potato so that each section looks like a radiator.
Place in saucepan with water to cover. Add pinch of salt. Boil until slightly undercooked. Pliable but not too soft. Just tender.
Remove potatoes and remove them. Toss with the flour mixture until lightly coated.
Place on greased baking sheet. Drizzle with oil (olive or vegetable) and put in preheated 375 degree oven.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
Garnish with a little butter or margarine.

Thoughts: Next time, Dan says he would cut the potatoes differently. Maybe cut rounds instead of 5 even sections, and then slice those rounds 3/4 of the way through.
Also, I accidentally over-cooked the sweet potatoes in the boiling water. So next time we will shorten the cooking time, or at least watch it more carefully.
Next time we are planning on putting grated parmesan and oregano into the flour mixture.
