Sweet potatoes are fantastic. They are healthy and can be down and dirty, or luxurious and decadent. They are very forgiving and they are one of those vegetables that you can do almost anything to. Today we are going to make these into something decadent.

METHOD

1. Preheat the grill to medium high, preparing for indirect cooking.
2. Cut off a small slice on the bottom of the potatoes so that they sit flat on the counter. Rest the potato between a couple of disposable chopsticks and slice the potatoes with a sharp knife every ¹/₈th of an inch. The chopsticks act as a stop so that you dont slice all the way through your potato, and I suggest again, disposable ones so that you dont ruin your favourite pair.
3. Rinse the potatoes well under cold water, even in between the slices.
4. Microwave the potatoes for 4 minutes, then carefully flip them over and microwave again for another 4 minutes.
5. Carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave and brush with olive oil, season with salt to taste.
6. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and add the Grand Marnier, stirring to combine.
7. Place the potatoes on the cool side of the grill and grill bake for 30 minutes, basting frequently with the Grand Marnier butter. When they’re done you want the middles to be soft and the edges to be crunchy.
8. Carefully remove them from the grill and serve warm.

This luxurious sweet potato dish goes well with anything cooked with an orange flavour, like the Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin. What a decadent way to make dinner something a little more rich.

Happy Grilling!
