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
