Ham Smothered With Sweet Potatoes

from Ms Mita at Greenfield Village

1 Ham Steak

3 sweet potatoes peeled and sliced

2 TBS sugar

1 cup hot water

Brown the ham slightly on both sides and then put in a baking dish. Spread the sliced sweet potatoes over the ham and sprinkle with the sugar. Add the hot water to the ham drippings and pour over the ham and sweet potatoes, cover and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. Baste the dish every 15 minutes and check to see if the potatoes are done. You may need to cook the dish for one hour. Towards the end of the cooking time, uncover and let the top brown.

Matthew made this recipe and I thought it was the best way I have ever had sweet potatoes.
