Roasted Japanese Sweet Potatoes with Scallion Butter
Ingredients
2-3 lbs. Japanese or Garnet sweet potatoes
1 stick unsalted butter, well softened
1 1/2 tablespoons white miso paste
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions or shallots

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F with rack in upper third. Prick potatoes all over with a fork and put on a foil-lined large baking sheet. Bake until very soft when squeezed, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
