2 large (about 1-1/2 pounds) sweet potatoes or yams 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons softened butter, divided 1 teaspoon ground ginger 2 teaspoons dark rum 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

PREPARATION:

1. Pierce potatoes in several places with fork. Place on paper towel in microwave. Microwave on HIGH 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender, rotating 1/4 turn halfway through cooking.

3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon margarine. With half of melted margarine, lightly brush one side of each potato slice. Grill slices margarine-side down on covered grill over medium coals 4 to 6 minutes or until grillmarked. Brush tops with remaining melted margarine; turn over and grill 3 to 5 minutes or until grillmarked. To serve, spoon rum mixture equally over potato slices.
