Simple Yet Delicious: Candied #SweetPotatoes

by Kim D.

My mother knows I love, love sweet potatoes, especially at Thanksgiving, so I know her receipe for candied sweet potatoes will be on the menu Thursday - enjoy! And for those needing an easy, last-minute side dish tomorrow, this one works beautifully.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a large baking dish. Boil 6 medium sweet potatoes until tender then drain. Let potatoes cool slightly then peel and slice (1/4-1/2 inch) and arrange in baking dish. Pour 1/3 cup melted butter over potatoes.
In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar (1 cup) and water (1/4 cup). Bring to a boil then simmer for about 5 minutes. Pour sugar over potatoes and sprinkle with salt (1/2 tsp). Bake for 1 hour, basting sugar over potatoes every 15 minutes.
