Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Wash the sweet potatoes without peeling them.
  2. Prick them with a fork, place them on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the flesh gives easily when pierced with a knife.
  3. While they bake, melt the butter over low heat in a small pan with the sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt until you have a light syrup.
  4. Split the hot potatoes lengthways, lightly mash the flesh with a fork and generously spoon over the sweet butter before serving.

Variations and tips

Honey version. Replace the sugar with honey added to the melted butter for a more floral taste.
