Steps


Peel the sweet potatoes and slice about 1 1 / 4 inches thick.
To a pot filled with just enough water to cover the potatoes , add 1 / 2 teaspoon salt to the water.
Bring to a boil.
Add potato slices and simmer for about 12 minutes or until slightly softened.
Remove the slices carefully to a wire rack and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
In the meantime mix together the olive oil and butter.
Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl , blend the topping ingredients together , making sure the sugar is completely distributed.
Using a flat-bottomed bowl or glass , slightly mash each potato slice , taking care that they stay intact.
Using only half of the oil / butter mixture , drizzle each slice with a mixture of the butter and oil.
Sprinkle the slices evenly with half the topping mixture , avoid getting the topping on the sheet between the slices , if possible , for it will burn and smoke before the pot.
