Sweet potatoes/Yams should be a staple in your diet. They are the most nutritional value vegetable. Period. And better for you than the regular potato. Packed with Vitamin A, Beta Carotene, Potassium and Iron among the benefits of a Suite* potato. They can be prepared in many different ways. Today I just want to highlight a real simple recipe that you can do on the grill with the aid of the most wonderful product in your kitchen. Aluminum foil.
Cut the potato in cubes, as close to even as you can. Sprinkle with Salt/Pepper.
Next season them with granulated light brown sugar. If you don't have that you can use maple syrup but just enough to glaze the tops, mix around as each cube should be have a light coat of syrup. If you do have the sugar use it the same way you'd use salt. It's granulated for easy use.
This is the product I use.
After that I throw some dried Parsley flakes on there or fresh parsley if I have and wrap them in the foil like a pocket. You want a little bit of tent structure with the foil because if you have the foil touching both sides you may burn the sugar or syrup on the potato. Don't worry about burning the bottom. If you don't want to use foil I suggest using those disposable aluminum tins from the dollar store.
Grill the pockets at a medium heat for about 20 minutes for firm to soft potatoes. If you like them super soft another 10 minutes will do the trick. Mangia!
P.S. - I leave the skins on.
