• 1/8 teaspoon sugar


• 1/2 teaspoon olive oil


• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400-degrees f.


• 2 wash the sweet potato and rub it all over with the olive oil. poke it a couple of times on top with a fork so that it doesn't blow up while baking. do not wrap it in aluminum foil! bake in the oven at 400-degrees f. for about one hour.


• 3 in a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for a few seconds, reserving two slices for topping later, and then blend in the brown sugar.


• 4 when the potato has baked to the point that the pulp is tender, and after it has cooled a bit, carefully cut out the top and scoop out the pulp into a medium mixing bowl. save the intact potato skin! mash the potato pulp with a fork and add in the butter/brown sugar mix.


• 5 spoon the potato pulp back into the potato skin and top with the two slices of butter, the sugar, and the cinnamon.


• 6 place the potato on a cookie sheet and broil on high for about 6 minutes. watch it carefully so that it doesn't burn the top.


• 7 serve hot.
