How to Cook Roast Sweet Potato Wedges

  1. Scrub the potatoes and cut lengthwise into wedges. Melt the butter in a large saucepan then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the ground cinnamon. Toss the potato wedges in the butter to coat them completely then season with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly-ground black pepper.
  2. Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC) for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender, turning wedges after the first 15 minutes. Serve hot.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
While the recipe calls for 4 potatoes for 4 people, you should, of course, judge by the size of the potatoes. For four people, as part of a roast dinner, you'll want between 1lb and 1lb 5oz (roughly 500g-600g).
