Sweet Potatoes and Brown Butter Sauce

I made a brown butter and chives sauce to put on my fish last night, but then I decided to change the fish to brown sugar and mustard sauce instead.  So I had extra brown butter sauce and put I on the sweet potatoes instead.  :) It was so delicious!!!  The sweet potatoes are good in their own, however, the brown butter takes them to whole new level of awesomeness.
