Directions:
Cook the sweet potatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed pan of boiling water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Remove the sweet potatoes with a perforated spoon and drain thoroughly.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the lime juice and sugar and heat gently, stirring, to dissolve the sugar.

Stir the sweet potatoes and the brandy into the sugar and lime juice mixture. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the potato slices are cooked through. Sprinkle the lime rind over the top of the sweet potatoes and mix well. Transfer to a large serving dish and garnish with lime wedges.
