Glazed Sweet Potatoes

4 tablespoons butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 - inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
Cut each of the potatoes into 8 evenly-shaped wedges.
Lay them out in the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the brown sugar and allow to dissolve.
Mix in syrup and cook until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the potatoes and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork but they still hold their shape.
