4 medium sweet potatoes
2 tbsp flour
1/4 grated orange rind
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. orange juice

Wash sweet potatoes, cover with water and partially cook until just tender enough to be pierced with a fork. Do not over cook. Drain well and set aside. Combine the oil or butter, brown sugar and juice and rind in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling and cook for 2 minutes. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Place sweet potatoes in a shallow 8 inch square pan. Pour syrup over them.

Bake in a slow oven 300°F for 55 minutes or until well glazed. After the fist 15 minutes turn the potatoes and baste.
