Description
Sweet, tender, soul-food style candied sweet potatoes, infused with spices, topped with brown sugar, then baked in candied sauce! The perfect Thanksgiving side dish.
Ingredients
- 4 Lbs Sweet Potatoes
- Water to cover
- 1/2 Cup Butter
- 1–1/4 Cups Karo Light Corn Syrup
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 2 Tbs Vanilla
- 1 Cup + 2 Tbs Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbs Cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
Instructions
- Â Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cool water.
- Â Place the pot over high heat and boil for about 40 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Â Melt the butter in a microwave for 30 seconds.
- Add the melted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and all the other ingredients (syrup, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt) to a baking dish, then stir well and set aside.
- Â Once the potatoes are done, strain the hot water, and cover them with cool water.
- Set them aside to chill for 10-15 minutes.
- Once the potatoes have chilled, set your oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into whatever size shapes you like (I like to cut them into 1/4 inch thick circular size shapes as seen in the video below).
- Â Add the chopped potatoes to the dish of candied sauce and sprinkle them with the remaining 2 Tbs of brown sugar.
- Â Place them in the oven and bake for 1 hr, basting with candied sauce periodically.Â
