Grandma Gertrude Byars Candied Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Mix brown sugar and white sugar together in another bowl.
• Layer potatoes and sugar mixture in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour the butter mixture over the top.
• Cover and cook on Low until tender, about 6 hours.
• Remove 1/3 of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and pour into a saucepan; whisk in cornstarch. Bring to a boil and cook until thick, about 5 minutes. Pour over potatoes and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Peel and boil Sweet Potatoes. Cook until almost done.
• 2. In a different boiler, combine all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Drain sweet potatoes and then cut into chunks or strips. Add the mixture and continue cooking until potatoes are done and mixture begins thickening.
• 3. Optional Top with a few mini marshmallows and bake until golden

Steps:

• Place the sweet potatoes into a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain water, and place potatoes in a large casserole dish.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar, red hot candies, and water. Pour over the sweet potatoes in the dish.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until sweet potatoes are soft, and the candies are melted. After this, you may top with marshmallows, and return the dish to the oven for 10 minutes to toast them.

Steps:

• In a large pot, boil sweet potatoes in their jackets in water to cover until fork-tender, 20 to 45 minutes depending upon their size. Drain and cool.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Peel potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or 2-quart gratin dish, overlapping slices to fit in one layer.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in sugar and salt until smooth. Pour evenly over the potatoes. Bake until potatoes look shiny and glazed, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Scrub sweet potatoes, but do not peel. Place potatoes in 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water just to cover. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool slightly. Slip off skins. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.
• Heat remaining ingredients in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Add potatoes. Gently stir until glazed and hot.
