Cinnamon Baked Sweet Potatoes / Yams

Seasoned Cook's Note:

NOTHING is better than a hot cinnamon sweet potato! So easy to fix and goes well with any menu plan. This is a family favorite and particularly in the winter when the sweet potatoes are plentiful! This recipe can be doubled easily for more servings.

Ahhhhh, this really hit the spot. The brown sugar/cinnamon is a perfect compliment to the sweet potatoes. Great recipe Seasoned Cook. We absolutely loved this!

When we tried this recipe the sauce was very good but the potatoes were not soft enough. It might work better if you wrap the yams in foil and cook them at a higher temp.
