Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 medium-size sweet potatoes -- (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds)

1 poblano chile OR jalapeño

4 scallions -- trimmed

olive oil

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese -- grated

salt and black pepper

 

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill. Wrap each potato in foil.

 

Grill the potatoes with the lid down, turning occasionally, until tender,

about 45 minutes.

 

While the potatoes are grilling, grill the pepper until blackened and

blistered all over, about 10 minutes. Place in a paper or plastic bag to

steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins. Meanwhile, brush the scallions

with oil and grill, turning occasionally, until tender and grill-marked,

about 8 minutes. (Don't worry about opening the grill to grill the chile

pepper and scallions.)

 

Peel, seed, and finely chop the pepper. Finely chop the scallions.

 

When the potatoes are cooked through, partially unwrap and make a large slit

in the top of each one. When cool enough to handle, fluff the flesh with a

fork. Mix in 1 tablespoon of the butter, 2 tablespoons of the Monterey jack,

one-quarter of the peppers, and one-quarter of the scallions. Mix in salt

and pepper to taste. Close up the potato and rewrap in the foil. Repeat with

the remaining potatoes.

 

Return the potatoes to the grill and heat until the cheese is melted and the

potatoes are hot, 10 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

NOTES : Once-baked sweet potatoes are delicious. Twice baked sweet potatoes

are even more so. Cheese and chiles transform ordinary sweet potatoes into a

fiesta of flavors.
