My Candied Sweet Potato Recipe

For some reason, everybody has been asking for my Candied Sweet Potato recipe lately.  It is such a simple and easy recipe to do and it tastes so delicious!  So here it is:

Candied Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

3 to 4 medium sized sweet potatoes

½ cup butter (I used unsalted butter)

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup water

Directions

I steamed the whole sweet potatoes in a pan with a steamer with a few inches of boiling water and cover.  Steam until the potatoes are tender - about 20 to 30 minutes.  Drain and cool.

Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into ½ inch slices.  Place in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, brown sugar, and wter.  When the sauce is bubbly and sugar is dissolved, brush over the sweet potatoes.

Bake in a preheated oven for 1 hours, occasionally basting the sweet potatoes with the brown sugar sauce.
