Top Secret Recipes Tony Roma'S Maple Sweet Potatoes By Todd Wilb - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large garnet yam
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 yellow onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

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.
