Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
Directions
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
Wrap them in thin paper.
Cover the wrapped potatoes first with hot ashes, then with live coals.
Turn the potatoes occasionally and renew the coals as needed.
When done, remove the ashes with a brush and wipe with a dry cloth before serving.
