BAKED SWEET POTATOES

The Inglenook Cook Book (1906)

Take 1/2 gallon of sweet potatoes, wash and pare; put them into a stew pan with enough water to cook them half done; then take a dripping pan and melt in it a piece of butter the size of an egg: put the potatoes in the melted butter and turn them so they will be buttered all over; sprinkle a little sugar over them, and bake in a moderately hot oven until they are brown. They are then ready to serve.
