Escaloped Sweet Potatoes
Pare medium sized potatoes; cut into halves or into three slices, according to size; place a layer in a baking pan, add bits of butter, pepper, and a generous sprinkling of sugar; then add another layer of potatoes and seasoning. When all have been used, add enough boiling water to show through them, but not quite enough to cover them. Cover the pan and bake one hour in a moderate oven; then remove cover and bake one half hour longer until the potatoes are nicely browned on top. Serve in the dish in which they are baked.
