2-3 large sweet potatoes- 3 TBS butter
- 2 TBS brown sugar
- 1 TBS cinnamon
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapples
- 1/4 nuts — we prefer almonds or pecans
- marshmallows
- Heat grill. It works better to use wood or a mixture of wood and charcoal. I haven’t tried this on the gas side of the grill.
- Melt 1 TBS butter. Mix 1 TBS brown sugar and 1/2 TBS cinnamon.
- Wash sweet potatoes and towel dry. It is okay if they are still damp. Brush or roll potatoes in melted butter. Roll potatoes in cinnamon-sugar. Wrap tightly in foil.
- Once the fire has died down throw the foil wrapped potatoes near the edge of the coals. Cook until they become soft. It can take between 20-40 minutes depending on the how hot the coals are. I start checking after 10 minutes.
- Either allow potatoes to cool or rinse foil wrapped potatoes under cold water until it is cool enough to handle.
- If the potatoes are still warm turn broiler and allow to warm while assembling. If not heat oven to 400.
- Grease a baking dish with butter. Scrap potatoes into baking dish. Add remaining butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well. Add pineapples and nuts. Top with marshmallows.
- Put potatoes in oven until marshmallows are a toasty brown. I prefer to use broil setting.
