Sweet Potato Home-Fries

As the natural sugars in sweet potatoes and onions caramelize on the grill, the flavor of each vegetable improves, resulting in a dish that is greater than the sum of its parts. These home-fries are great as a side dish with steak, or even as an appetizer.

Type: Vegetables
Courses: Side dish
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Sweet potatoes (large)
2   Onions - sliced thin
4 tablespoons 60mlButter - (1/2 stick)
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlGround nutmeg
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Wash the sweet potatoes and wrap them in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place them on the grill at a medium-high heat for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on their size, turning them occasionally.

Remove them when they're still a bit firm when pierced with a sharp knife. Allow them to cool. Unwrap the potatoes and discard the foil. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch slices.

Place the sweet potatoes in a large nonstick skillet or a cast-iron skillet and add the onion, butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Place on high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are tender and slightly brown.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
