I sliced two sweet potatos (potatoes for those Dan Quayle types) between 1/8 and 1/4" and nuked them till soft in a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a little salt, placed them in a foil pan w/ brown sugar and a tablespoon butter, and placed them on my Weber kettle.
They basically braised in the liquid uncovered and picked up a nice lite smokey flavor. I stirred them in the pan when I turned the italian sausage and charred some yellow and red pepper slices also.
Sorry, no left overs or food porn.

Seriously, sounds good. Last summer I made some sweet potatoes where I just threw them directly on the coals. Then just scooped the insides out of the charred exterior. They were awesome.

Other than that, the dish sounds pretty good. I haven't done sweet potatoes in a long time.
