Crisped Bacon and Sweet Potatoes

Oven, in the book's wordsA hot oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Cut the cold steamed sweet potatoes in halves.

  2. Wrap each half with a thin slice of bacon and fasten with a toothpick.

  3. Place in a pan and bake in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C) until the potatoes are browned and the bacon is crisp.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
