Category: Sweet Potatoes
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

8 large, unpeeled sweet potatoes, either parboiled or partially baked and cooled
(Potatoes will only be half cooked)
Crisco oil
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
Ground Nutmeg to taste (optional)
Ground cinnamon to taste (optional)
Granulated Sugar

Peel cooked sweet potatoes and slice them 1/4 inch thick slices on the diagonal.

Heat oil to 350 degrees in a large black iron skillet (or any heavy bottomed skillet) to about 1/2inch deep. Fry the slices of potato in the hot oil in a single layer. Cook until browned on both sides. This will take a little while, so be patient. Drain browned potatoes on a double thickness of paper towels.

Arrange cooked slices in a single layer on a broiler pan. Lightly season with cinnamon and nutmeg if desired. Lightly sprinkle with granulated sugar and dot with a little dab of butter. Place under the broiler until the butter melts and the sugar browns.
