Candied Sweet Potatoes/Yams
We have always called these Yams but they are really Sweet Potatoes. This is the way my Mom always made this Thanksgiving dish.
*4 medium/large Sweet Potatoes/Yams cooked, remove skins and cut into thick slices or chunks size that you like. (Bring Water to a boil and put the washed Sweet Potatoes/Yams in a Stock Pot of water and simmer until they are fairly easy to poke with a fork)
In a greased Glass Baking Pan place cut, cooked Sweet potatoes/Yams and top them with the following:
*1/2-3/4 packed cup Brown Sugar, depending on how sweet you like them
*1/4-1/2 cup Salted Butter, cut into square pieces
*3 teaspoons Canned Milk
You can also melt the above ingredients in microwave until melted and pour over cut Sweet Potatoes/Yams before baking.
*1/4 cup Slivered Almonds, optional
Cover with foil or glass lid and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350*F, then remove from oven and top with mini marshmallows and broil/ or just let them brown for a few minutes uncovered until they start to turn brown slightly, watch them carefully so you don’t burn them. Serve!
Serves 8-10 people.
Enjoy!
