Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Place the sweet potatoes, 2 tbl of water and 3 tbl of olive oil in a large saute pan. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and add 2 more tbl of olive oil, the butter, 2 tsp kosher salt, ¹⁄₂ tsp pepper and toss well with the potatoes, spreading them out into an even layer in the pan.
