Use your favorite type of sweet potato or mix all varieties in a single dish. Boil the potatoes until tender but still slightly firm when pierced with a knife. Drain. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins. Cut them lengthwise into slices about 3/8 inch thick. Preheat the oven to 375F. Butter a large, shallow casserole and make a layer of potatoes. Scatter a few ginger slices over them, dot with butter, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle some of the syrup on top. Repeat until all the potatoes are used. Dot the last layer with butter and pour in the juice. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. If the oven is being used for other things and is set at a lower temperature, simply bake them longer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
