ROASTED SWEET POTATO STACKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F/190C (standard) or 350F/180C (fan/convection).
• Peel the potatoes, then slice thinly (about 2 mm / 1/10" thick). Transfer into a large bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients. Toss well with your hands.
• Place piles of the slices in the muffin tin. Don't worry if they are higher than the rim - they shrink about 25%.
• Top each stack with about 1/2 tsp of the remaining butter mixture in the bowl.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until the edge of the top slices are starting to brown and the inside of the stacks are cooked (use skewer or knife to check).
• Use a fork and knife to remove the stacks from the muffin tin. Optional: Brush tops with residual butter in muffin tin. Serve as soon as possible.
