Broiled Sweet Potatoes

Take some peeled sweet potatoes which have been steam-boiled and slice them three-eights of an inch thick, trim them to olive-shaped pieces and place them in a double broiler, salt them well and coat with some melted butter, then broil them over a slow fire. When done, serve inside a folded napkin.
