Sweet Glazed Candied Yams
Ingredients List
-
6 yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
½ cup butter
-
½ cup water
-
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Set up a steamer basket in a large pot and bring about 2 inches of water to a boil. Place the whole sweet potatoes into the basket, cover, and steam until soft, roughly 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
-
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange them in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a small saucepan, melt together brown sugar, butter, water, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is bubbling and the sugar has dissolved, then pour it over the potatoes.
-
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 1 hour, occasionally spooning the brown sugar glaze over the potatoes as they cook.
