Baked Sweet Potato Wedges

While I would like to take full credit for this recipe, I'm afraid that I cannot.  This is from the queen herself, Paula Deen.  She is definitely a woman after my own heart.  As a fellow southern woman, I appreciate her respect for a good stick of butter. 

I don't know about you but I love sweet potatoes.  The only problem is that I eat them only at Thanksgiving and while I'm eating them I always think to myself, "Now WHY don't I eat these at any other time of year?"  This recipe is so stupid easy that I wish Paula would change the name to Sweet Potatoes For Dummies.  I mean even I can cook these babies!  Enjoy!

1/2 cup, plus 2 T butter (all hail butter!)
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into wedges
2 tsp salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400.

In a large saucepan over med-high heat, melt butter.  Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cinnamon.  Add the potato wedges to teh butter and toss to coat.  Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet.  Roast potatoes, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 20-25 min).
