Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar butter.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with toasted Walnuts and Brown Sugar Butter




3 Large Sweet Potatoes
4 tablespoons of butter
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts




In a large (3-5 qt.) pan bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to flavor the water. Peel and chop the potatoes into bite size pieces about 1/2 an inch each. Parboil the potatoes for about 10 minutes then drain. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt two tablespoons of butter in a 9x9 baking pan and make sure the entire bottom is covered. Add the sweet potatoes to the 9x9 baking pan and toss them around in the butter. Sprinkle on the 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Place in the center of the oven uncovered for 25 minutes. Then remove and add the other two tablespoons evenly spreading them out in small pieces. Now sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the potatoes and place back in the oven for another 30-35 minutes. The edges of the potatoes should look lightly browned and the walnuts should be golden. Remove from the oven and toss with a spatula making sure to be delicate. Let cool for 2-5 minutes and serve.
