Candied Sweet Potatoes
8 medium (3 lbs.) sweet potatoes
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. brandy, orange juice
or mixture of both

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Cook potatoes in water until tender. Drain and cool. Peel and cut in half lengthwise.
Place in shallow baking dish large enough to hold one layer.

Melt butter and combine with remaining ingredients, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour over potatoes. Bake, turning once and basting with sauce, until hot, about 20 minutes.

Note: Potatoes and butter mixture can be placed in large skillet and heated on top of stove instead of in oven.

Serves: 8
