2 tbsp garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp rosemary fresh, chopped

Step By Step Instructions To Make Dutch Oven Sweet Potatoes

Step1

Spread the olive oil evenly in the bottom of a Dutch oven measuring 12 or 14 inches in diameter.

Step2

In a thin circle, slice the potatoes. Fill the Dutch oven with the potatoes and spread them in a single layer.

Step3

On top of the potatoes, sprinkle the salt, pepper, cheese, and rosemary. Place a dot of butter evenly over each potato.

For Baking in the Oven

Step1

Set the oven to 375oF and preheat it.

Step2

For 35 minutes, bake. Once the potatoes are tender and golden brown, remove the cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.

For Baking with Coals

Step1

Put 9 coals on the bottom and 18 coals on top of a dutch oven that is on a stand or on a safe ground area. For a shallow 12-inch dutch oven, this should heat to 375 degrees.

Step2

During the cooking process, monitor the coals and add more when the original coals lose their heat.

Step3

The bottom of the Dutch oven may need 1/3 cup water added if the potatoes are cooking too quickly despite the coal adjustment.

Step4

It takes about 45 minutes for the potatoes to become soft.
