STEVE'S (NOT MASHED) SWEET POTATOES



Steve's (Not Mashed) Sweet Potatoes image

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.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet potatoes (choose the smaller ones with the reddish skins)
1 orange, sliced and seeded but unpeeled (optional)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash ginger (optional)

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.

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.
