In the summertime, I make these on the grill -- instead of chunks, just slice the potatoes into thick lengthwise slices, toss in olive oil, grill until tender, then proceed with the recipe. The hot baking sheet and the hot grill provide the same effect -- caramelized sweet potatoes. Yum!   [![Copyright Barbara Stein.
