Sweet Potatoes With Mustard and Brown Sugar Butter

I was honored to have James Beard Award nominee and local-food advocate Ashley Christensen of Poole’s Downtown Diner prepare the meal for the fall 2010 Tale of Two Farms dinner. She served up a delightful meal prepared with ingredients grown at the farm.
On Friday we went to the One Acre Vegetable Garden and dug sweet potatoes. By Saturday night she had transformed them into this yummy dish. It’s simple to prepare and so good you’ll want to make enough for two helpings per person.
