Sauteed Sweet Potatoes

2 lg Sweet potatoes

1/4 lb Butter (1 stick)

2/3 c Tequila

1/4 c Lime juice

3 T Sugar

Grate the sweet potatoes into pieces about 1 inch long and about 1/4 inch thick. Saute the sweet potatoes in the butter for 5 minutes. Add the tequila, lime juice and sugar, and cook covered, over moderate heat, for 5 minutes. NOTES: * Sweet potatoes sauteed in lime and tequila -- Rose`s lime juice, a common brand, has a substantial amount of added sugar. Try to find lime juice without added sugar, or leave all the sugar out of the recipe if you can`t find it. Naturally you will get the best results if you squeeze fresh limes to get the lime juice. : Difficulty: trivial. : Time: 10 to 15 minutes, most of it spent grating the potatoes. : Precision: No need to measure. : Mike Foster : Columbia University, New York : Foster@Columbia-20 : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
