COOKING Over Fire

FIRE-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Wrap sweet potatoes in foil. After you have a good fire going, place potatoes on the edge of the fire, directly in the coals. Cook until potatoes can be easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour, rotating potatoes halfway through cooking with very long tongs. If there is any resistance when piercing potatoes, place back on coals, and continue to cook until soft. Serve warm with your favorite flavored butter.
