Method
Preparation of the Sweet Potatoes
- 1
Wash and Prepare
Start by washing the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 2
Prick the Sweet Potatoes
Using a fork, prick each sweet potato several times to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- 3
Coat with Oil and Salt
Rub the sweet potatoes with vegetable oil and sprinkle kosher salt evenly over the surface.

Prepare the Ash
If using an open fire, prepare a bed of hot coals. Gather ash from the fire (do not use charcoal ash). Ensure the ash is fine and well mixed.
- 5
Wrap in Ash
Carefully pack the sweet potatoes in the hot ash, making sure they are well covered. This will help them cook evenly over a long period.

Roast for 10 Hours
Let the sweet potatoes roast in the ash for 10 hours. If using a fire pit, ensure the heat is maintained. If using a controlled heat source, maintain a consistent temperature.
Serving Suggestions
