Fire-Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Time: 1-2 hours
Serves: 2 people

Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes
1 really crackling fire

Directions:

1. Build a fire.  We use the teepee method because that is what I was taught in Girl Scouts but it really doesn't matter how you get it going.  You want the coals to be hot.

2.  Place sweet potatoes in the fire under the hot coals.

3.  In about 30 to 45 minutes, check your sweet potatoes by carefully removing them from the hot coals.  The exterior should be charred but the interior should be tender.  If they are not done, place them under the hot coals again until cooked.
