Labor Day is not far away and today I want to share a great recipe for you to have that weekend, whether you are having a party or just cooking for the family. This is a recipe that I had at a friends Labor day party about 5 years ago. I was hooked immediately! It is not only unique, but it is delicious!

These potatoes provide a great pop of color on your table, and are especially beautiful with the grill marks. If they get cold you can microwave them to reheat, but be careful, too much microwaving can dry them out and they fall apart.
You can make this recipe in a skillet, they won't look as pretty, but they are still yummy! A great addition to just using sweet potatoes is to add some sliced apples to the potatoes. Apples are really delightful when brushed with this butter mixture, and grilled, and they are scrumptious when mixed with the sweet potatoes. You should try it!

Grill Mats are the Best!

If you are grilling things like potatoes or peppers, or actually anything that is small enough to fall through the cooking grate, I recommend getting a grill mat. I recently bought a Aoocan Grill Mat and I just love it. It keeps your food from falling through the grate and it also keeps it from touching the grid, which many times is not the cleanest.
I got 5 Aoocan grill mats for $12.99 and they are really awesome! You can also put them on the bottom rack of your oven to keep spills off the floor of your oven. |
Have a great weekend and grill some potatoes!
