Maple and Tarragon Sweet Potatoes

8 to 10 servings

Maple syrup and tarragon, a sweet herb, are wonderful enhancements for the
flavor of sweet potatoes.

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup nonhydrogenated margarine, melted
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried tarragon

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Arrange the sweet potato slices in overlapping
rows in an oiled shallow 2-quart casserole. In a small bowl, combine the
syrup, margarine, juice, cinnamon,and salt. Pour evenly over the potatoes.
Sprinkle the tarragon over the top. Cover with lid or foil and bake, covered,
for 25 to 30 minutes, or until readily pierced with a fork but still firm.
Bake another 20 to 25 minutes,uncovered, or until glazed and golden around
the edges.
