I bought some today to cook for dinner tonight and need some suggestions. I am looking to try something different to do with them. Anyone got a good roasting recipe for these? Thanks for the help Back to top JWChitown Moderator Joined: 19 Feb 2007 Posts: 2609 Location: Chicagoland - Go Olympics 2016!

Slice potatoes and place them into a "buttered" baking dish with slightly more butter (if desired). Sprinkle with brown sugar. Toss in a few minature marshmellows. Drizzle all with a little molasses syrup and place in oven and bake until marshmellows melt. (Sometimes I also flavor with a little Grand Marnier for extra zip.) Not exactly a low calorie side dish, but everyone loves it. _________________ .............. You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails.

Now I am getting excited Back to top JWChitown Moderator Joined: 19 Feb 2007 Posts: 2609 Location: Chicagoland - Go Olympics 2016!

Now I am getting excited Boil them whole. They need to be mostly cooked but not all the way or they will get too soggy. After boiling, run them under cold water and peel off the skins. Then slice them into your baking dish. (You can play "hot potato" cause they are not easy to cut while hot.) _________________ ..............

Rinse them off, throw them in the over at about 350 ( put them on a pan because they might pop and the sugar will run down.) get the skins all crispy - test with a fork serve with butter and brown sugar _________________ AABB Since Feb. 2007 Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart Back to top Sydney2 Unrepentant FAMEWHORE Joined: 19 Feb 2007 Posts: 554 Location: Toronto, Canada Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 2:38 pm    Post subject: NancyB wrote: If they are sweet potatoes ( orange ) for me, nothing can beat baking them in the oven.

This sounds yummy as well. I will suggest both to my husband and see what he feels like, I could eat them either way Back to top Sydney2 Unrepentant FAMEWHORE Joined: 19 Feb 2007 Posts: 554 Location: Toronto, Canada Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 11:23 am    Post subject: I made a bit of both!!
