Author Notes
We cook this in our iron skillet on the grill. It allows the sweet potato to break apart and essentially become like a sweet potato mash without a ton of butter - just a great deal of flavor. You can also do this in the oven starting temp at approximately 450. The iron skillet is critical as it locks in the flavor and adds a great deal of moisture so that the potatoes require little butter/oil. —arik
