STEVE'S (NOT MASHED) SWEET POTATOES
My husband's cousin prepared the sweet potatoes this way for a family reunion type Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. We love them for a change of pace from candied yams and sweet potato casseroles, and they are oh so much better for you.

Steps:
- Peel and slice sweet potatoes into sticks about 1 inch thick (like fat french fries).
- Place in a large pot and add water until barely covered.
- Add orange, sugar, and seasonings to taste.
- Cook until crisp-tender: bring to a boil, reduce heat, boil gently for 5 to 8 minutes. (Nothing mushy here. There should still be some resistence in the bite.).
- Serve in syrup (cooking liquid). It's so pretty with the orange slices floating in it.

MARYLOU'S HOLIDAY SWEET POTATOES - NO MARSHMALLOWS
Thought it was about time I shared this luscious sweet potato dish. It makes the house smell wonderful. These do take a bit of time, but it's worth it! We've been having these for about 40 years. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Leftovers, if you have any, may be frozen for later enjoyment.
