Top Secret Recipes Tony Romas Maple Sweet Potatoes By Todd Wilb

Steps:

• Bake yam for 40-45 minutes at 400.
• (This will leave the yam baked nearly all the way through, but firm enough to slice when cool).
• Remove yam from oven and allow to cool enough so that you can handle it.
• When cool, remove skin and slice into 1-inch bite-size pieces.
• Melt 1 TBSP of butter in large skillet.
• Add chopped onion and pecans.
• Saute for a couple of minutes until onions pieces begin to turn brown.
• Add yam slices, maple syrup, and cinnamon and saute for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, or until yam pieces are hot and tender.

Steps:

• Note: Chipotle chile peppers come packed in adobo sauce and are available in seven-ounce cans.
• Because you need such a small amount in this recipe, you can freeze what's left over in a heavy duty freezer bag for another use.
• Place sweet potato in saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until tender; drain.
• Return potatoes to pan.
• Add remaining ingredients; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large saucepan, cover the sweet potato slices with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until just tender. About 5 minutes. Drain well.
• Arrange potato slices in a large casserole. Season with salt and pepper and then dot with butter pieces. Drizzle potatoes with maple syrup, sprinkle with water and bake for 25 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. If necessary, you can broil the casserole for a minute or two before serving.
