Candied Sweet Potatoes image

This recipe is a favorite in our family! I've been making them this way for about 35 years now. It's also an easy recipe to double or triple, for a Thanksgiving crowd! You can cook the sweet potatoes early in the day, and prepare the sauce when you are ready! That's usually what I do!

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c brown sugar, packed
3 Tbsp salted butter

Steps:

  • 2. Drain, and let cool slightly, so you can remove the skins. Then quarter the potatoes, and set aside.
  • 3. THE SAUCE In a large skillet, melt the butter, and add the rest of the ingredients, stirring constantly until smooth. Cook until it's bubbling nicely.
