Sweet Potatoes????

JM3

My mom bought some sweet potatoes yesterday. I know I can cook them indirect on the grill but I was thinking of slicing and grilling direct with oil and rub on them ala Golden Brown Dizzy Pig Potato Slices.[p]Any advice?[p]John

JM3,
I have been making them alot the last few weeks as sweet potatoes are allowed on the South Beach diet. I quarter them and then drizzle EVOO some Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. I cook them on my small direct on a raised grid at 325 for about 1 hour. Turn and rotate them every 10 min. or so. The family loves them!!

JM3,
I read this somewhere so I thought I would try it and we just love sweet potatoes this way.............[p]I just throw them on the edges of the coals while cooking a steak or something else on the grid. I'll then turn them a few times until charred completely on the outside. And on the inside they are nice & done with so much flavor locked in! My wife is always wanting me to fix them this way now.[p]The only pain is lifting of the grill and moving them around with the meat still on the grill.

WVU_Egg,
there's a grid out there that hinges up (half of it)...
haven't come across one when i walk the aisles, but i'm sure they are online.[p]i believe they are weber grids, designed to allow adding briquettes to an already going fire. that might work for you.

stike,
One that I have for my BGE Large is an extender grid that partially folds up. Got it from my local BGE dealer. Believe the "k" has one also.

Here's what I would do:
4 large sweet potatoes, par-cooked and cut into 1/2-inch slices
8 scallions
3/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley[p]Preheat grill to high. Brush potatoes and scallions with oil and arrange on grill. Grill potatoes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until just tender. Grill scallions until softened and marked. Remove scallions from the grill and cut into thin slices.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, the mustard, vinegars, and honey. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add potatoes, scallions, and parsley and toss until potatoes are well coated. Transfer to a platter and serve. [p]Bullet
