Cajun Baked Sweet Potato
"Â*Â*Â* 1 tablespoon paprika
"Â*Â*Â* 1 teaspoon brown sugar
"Â*Â*Â* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
"Â*Â*Â* 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
"Â*Â*Â* 1/2 teaspoon thyme
"Â*Â*Â* 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
"Â*Â*Â* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
"Â*Â*Â* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
"Â*Â*Â* 1 large sweet potato
"Â*Â*Â* 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the paprika, brown sugar,
black pepper, onion powder, thyme,
rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Slice the sweet
potatoes in half lengthwise; rub the
halves with olive oil, and then spread the seasoning mix over the
open half of each potato. (I use a
butter knife.)
Bake for 45minutes or until the sweet potato is tender.
[Note: Simply multiply the recipe for more than one potato.]

Here's *the* recipe for sweet potatoes.Â* Had it at the Mesa Grill
in Vegas, Bobby Flay's restaurant.Â* Awesome.

As soon as I read 'two cups of heavy cream' it became a no-no. I'd
love it, but my wife wouldn't
consider it. Have you ever sliced a sweet potato? There's a lot of
work involved with using a knife
to slice three sweet potatos in 1/8" thick slices. I'd probably cut
a thumb off. I'll bet Bobby used
an electric slicer!

You fellas sure like to change the taste of food you say you like. I
like the taste of a sweet potato the way it comes from nature, baked,
with a tiny pat of butter and a little salt. You guys do the same
thing with beouf...I don't eat that much of it, but when I do, it is
because, for example, I like the taste of a steak. Crikey...why
bother with the main ingredient...just sit down with a spoon and an
assortment of spices. And speaking of which...when you add a lot of
"heat"(fiery spices) to meat, just what are you tasting? Certainly
not the meat.Â*



Maybe people are different than you and they like food prepared that
way.Â* Does that offend you?



Of course not, but I am curious about why so many of the "chefs" here go
to such lengths to masquerade the actual flavors of the foods they
profess to like. Fiery, spicy barbecue doesn't taste like the beef or
pork, for example.



Delete the first sentence and the last two of your post (above) and see
the difference in how it comes across to others. Insult-less.
