Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into approximately 1/2” thick slices. Then place the sweet potatoes into a 9X13 baking pan. Season the sweet potatoes with the salt.
Melt the butter over medium high heat in a saucepan. Then stir in the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir and heat until the sugar has dissolved (just a few minutes). Watch the mixture closely so that it does not burn.
Then pour this mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes making sure that every sweet potato is covered with the butter mixture.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 40-60 minutes stirring every 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
