Sweet potatoes aren't just for the holidays; we eat them year round. I like to switch things up by adding different kinds of seasoned butters. Some are savory, others are sweet. This is one of my husband's favorites. Cinnamon, honey, sugar and butter melting into a soft and sweet homegrown sweet potato... what's not to love? They are a great side for ham, pork chops and chicken. Delish!

How To Make baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon honey butter

1
Gather ingredients. (Allow for time for butter to soften.) Preheat oven to 450` F.

2
Scrub potatoes under running water, dry with paper towel, then wrap each in two layers of aluminum foil.
3
Bake potatoes at 450` F for 1 hour or until soft when poked with a fork or knife.
4
While sweet potatoes are baking, make the cinnamon honey butter by mashing softened butter, with a fork, in a small bowl.
5
Add honey, cinnamon and sugar; mix well until thoroughly combined. Set aside or refrigerate until potatoes have finished baking.
6
When sweet potatoes have finished baking, remove from oven, remove foil (CAREFUL! HOT!) and place on serving plate.
7
Split potatoes and add a dollop of the prepared butter. Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers.
