Roasted Cuban Sweet Potato

Roasted Cuban Sweet Potato

1 large sweet potato
1 Tbs. olive oil or butter
1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/4 lb. ground pork
1/8 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. ground pepper
1/8 tsp. cumin seeds
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
dash of red pepper flakes
2 Tbs. butter, softened
1 Tbs. stone ground mustard
sliced pickles
Swiss cheese

 

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. 

 

Rub the sweet potato in oil and brush with coarse salt. 

Bake for about 2 1/2 hours, roasting until super crispy and crunchy on the outside and uber soft on the inside.

 

Meanwhile, cook the ground pork over medium heat, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

 

Whip together the butter and mustard.

 

Once the potato is done, slice it open, slather it with the butter mustard, top with the pork, pickles, and some good Swiss cheese.

 

Best damn Cuban you’ll ever have
