Camotes al Horno (Baked Yams)
“A traditional dish from Puebla, Mexico, Camotes al Horno has the sweet simplicity of baked yams with butter, honey and sugar. Serve as a sweet treat on their own, or try them in combination with savory meat dishes for an interesting mix of flavors.”
6 small yams
6 tablespoons butter
6 teaspoons honey
3 teaspoons white sugar
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
Place yams in a large pot of lightly salted, boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
Arrange the yams in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut a slit down the middle of each one and dab 1 tablespoon of butter in each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Spoon 1 teaspoon honey into each yam, sprinkle each with sugar and serve.
