4 sweet potatoes
125g butter, at room temperature
1 red chilli, seeds removed, finely grated
1 x 2.5cm piece of ginger, grated
Zest of 1 lime
Preheat the oven to 200 ?C/Gas Mark 6.
Place the potatoes on a roasting tray, pop in the oven and cook until soft and delicious (around 30-40 minutes).
While the potatoes are cooking, mix all the butter ingredients together and put to one side. (This will make more than you need, however, it keeps well in the fridge in a sealed container for 2-3 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months, and can be used for all manner of things).
When the potatoes are ready, cut open and top with your butter.
