Sides : SWEET & Spicy Sweet Potatoes

• 6 medium sweet potatoes
  
• 1 cup butter or margarine
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 1 cup water
  
• 1/2 cup TABASCO® brand SWEET & Spicy Pepper Sauce
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  

Bake or boil sweet potatoes just until tender. Cool to touch and peel. Cut into 1-inch slices and place in a buttered 2-quart baking dish.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat; add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil; pour evenly over potatoes. Cover with foil and bake in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes; remove foil, baste potatoes with juice, and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer.
