Maple-Glazed Grilled Sweet Potatoes

We really liked these sweet potato wedges. They came out very sweet and tasty.

The dogs were nothing fancy. Just all-beef Hebrew National dogs, grilled and halved and topped with chopped hot cherry peppers. Nice kick!

1. Place potatoes in large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until potatoes are fork soft.

2. Remove potatoes from pot, drain, and put into a large bowl of cold ice water. Let cool until you can handle them.

3. Peel potatoes and quarter lengthwise.

4. Heat grill to high.

5. Whisk together syrup, chile powder, and salt.

6. Brush potatoes with oil and grill until gold in color, about 3 minutes.

7. Brush potatoes with glaze and grill another 3 minutes, or until potatoes have a light char and are heated completely.
