BAKED YAMS WITH CINNAMON-CHILI BUTTER

 

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons New Mexico chili powder*

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

 

6 yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes)

 

Using electric mixer, beat first 5 ingredients in

medium bowl until fluffy. (Can be made 3 days ahead.

Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature

before using.)

 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheet with

foil. Place yams on sheet; bake until tender, about 1

hour 10 minutes. Slit each yam lengthwise. Spoon 1

tablespoon butter into each. Serve, passing remaining

butter separately.

 

* A pure chili powder, sold in the spice section of

some supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute an equal

quantity of regular mild chili powder.

 

Makes 6 servings
