EMBER-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare a fire and let the charcoal burn down to a bed of embers, coals, and ashes for rescoldo. If cooking indoors, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bury the sweet potatoes in the embers, coals, and ashes, making sure they are completely and evenly covered. Roast until they are tender all the way through. If cooking indoors, arrange the sweet potatoes on a sheet pan and roast for about 45 minutes, or until tender all the way through. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes: after about 20 minutes, part the embers with long-handled tongs and try to pierce a sweet potato all the way through with a long bamboo skewer. It will probably meet with some resistance toward the center and feel about half baked. Turn the potatoes over with the tongs and replace the embers and ashes, adjusting them as necessary for even cooking, and roast for about 20 minutes longer. When the sweet potatoes are done, carefully dig them out and wipe off the ashes with a dish towel or paper towels.

• If serving simply with butter and crushed red pepper flakes, split the sweet potatoes open, add a tablespoon of butter to each, and season to taste with fleur de sel and red pepper flakes. Otherwise, omit the butter, fleur de sel, and red pepper flakes, and continue to the next step.
• If serving with yogurt and almond-mint gremolata, make the gremolata while the potatoes are roasting. Whisk together the parsley, mint, almonds, olive oil, honey, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• When the sweet potatoes are done, cool them very slightly, then cut them crosswise in half. With your fingers protected by a dish towel, slowly push the skin inward so the insides explode up from the top. Transfer the sweet potatoes to serving plates. Sprinkle with fleur de sel to taste, drizzle with olive oil, and add a large spoonful of cold yogurt to each potato. Spoon some gremolata over the yogurt and serve the rest on the side.
