Burner Baked Sweet Potatoes
Description
Our winter time favourite! Straight out of the fire onto the table. The sweet caramel smell gets even the laziest rats out of their rooms.
The bottom of the image shows a carrot. They work too, taste great but not as flavoursome as sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
Instructions
- This recipe really only works if you have access to a wood burner, wood heater or slow combustion heater. Yes, an open camp fire would do the job too.
- Wrap the sweet potato in aluminium foil. Don't peel it.
- Using the thong, set upright on the edge of the fire. We are looking here at about 300-320C.
- Probe with the thong if the sweet potato has become soft. If not yet soft, let it swelter for another few minutes.
- Take it out onto a plate with some protect under the plate before you place it on the table. It is very hot and will burn your table through the plate.
Note
Gloves and a fireproof thong is a must.
