This is a recipe I found while looking for ideas for Thanksgiving. These sweet potatoes are so good I’ve made them a couple times since Thanksgiving. Proceed with caution because they might be addictive!

Recipe: Candied Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 6 sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into large cubes)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add sweet potatoes; stirring to coat.
  3. Sprinkle sugar mixture over sweet potatoes, and stir.
  4. Cover skillet and reduce to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour, or until the sauce is dark and the potatoes are candied. They should be tender, but a little hard around the edges.
  5. Stir in vanilla and serve.
