Topic History of: Baking sweet potatoes

duckegg Ronbo,
Right on! They are a can't miss cook, almost. We just throw them on naked in a little aluminum
foil boat with whatever else we have on the grill. Take them off when they start to get wrinkly. I
have never tried it while TRexing but would probably work fine. A little butter is all you need.

Spring Chicken WessB,
We raised our own sweet potatoes on the farm back in another life. We stored them in a hay loft of
the barn and sprinkled white lime powder over them to keep them from sprouting. They would keep
that way for months. My grandmother baked them almost daily in a wood burning stove that was always
hot. I would guess about 400° to 500°. She just stuck them in the oven in a pan. No oil or salt
or pepper. When she took them out they would be sitting in a pool of dark brown sugar that cooked
out of them. The shells would be dry and separated from the meat.

We made our own butter too so we added butter and that was it. Better than homemade ice cream.

Later in the day we could grab up a cold sweet tater and take it with us to eat later. Hot or cold,
they were like desert.

Now you've got me want'n some sweet tater.

AnnaG Rick's Tropical Delight,

I don't think I will come anywhere close to what you do, but I will just settle with done sweet
potatoes... You do a great job with the pics... I hope the food taste half as good as the photos
look...

Thanks...

BobS WessB,
I like to follow the basic recipe that was in Dr. BBQ's first book. I have never used the exact
ingredients, my my modification has always been well received.

Cut the Sweet Potato, lengthwise, into fourths. Coat with EVOO. Mix your favorite BBQ rub 50/50
with brown sugar and coat the cut sides of the potato. Form the pieces back together and wrap in
heavy foil and cook at 350-400. Coook until very soft. Time is going to depend on size, but figure
on around 1.5 hours for a tater big enough to feed two.

AnnaG,
they look like this when they're almost done... turkey breast, corn, zucchini garnish optional.

AnnaG Rick's Tropical Delight,

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I will definitely give that a shot...

Thanks...
