Melting Potatoes
I had never been a Sweet Potato fan until I discovered Melting Potatoes!
They have the texture of velvet but the skin is chewy and crunchy, the butter seems to mix with the natural sugars in the sweet potato to produce a caramel flavour and the coarse salt adds another level to the crunchy sensation.
This recipe is really easy to prepare and low maintenance to cook.
This would be a welcomed addition to any and all Easter meals!

Roast for another 20 minutes.
Serve immediately!
