sweet taters on the Weber Kettle

Post by Pete Segaard »

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.

Must provide pics!

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.

The plural of "potato" is "potatoes."

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

Me either. When I got married it pretty much took me out of the game.
