Ingredients

3 lbs of sweet potatoes (about 3 large potatoes)

2 tbl extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

First boil the potatoes. After they start to boiling reduce to simmer for about 18 minutes. Drain the water, allow to cool a bit, and then peel. After they are peeled cut into ½ inch thick slices. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and brush onto the potato slices, front and back. Bond put the slices directly on the grill while he did the chicken on the other side. Tip: use some ease to grasp with kitchen tongs to remove the slices so they do not fall into the grill.

I served with grilled chicken breast and steamed veggies. I marinated the chicken for about an hour in a tiny bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a spice mix called garlic , and a dusting of cumin.  I used steam fresh frozen veggies, an Asian Medley.

They turned out delicious.  I made enough to serve with dinner and for left overs!
