Baked Sweet Potatoes with Dill Butter

Time: 1 hour 50 min.
Complexity: easily

Sweet potatoes served whole as a side dish look truly unique and impressive. The potatoes are baked in their skins in the oven, slit lengthwise, and then topped with fragrant butter mixed with fresh dill, green onions, and grated lemon zest. This addition gives the sweet potato a delicate, creamy texture, and its slightly sweet flavor is perfectly balanced by the tartness of the lemon and the piquancy of the onion. Serve these delicious potatoes as a side dish with meat and savor their flavor.
