Candied Southern Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 6 large sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick pieces by peeling them first.
3
Melt butter in a substantial cooking vessel over medium heat. Introduce the sliced potatoes into the skillet.
4
Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a container; pour these dry ingredients over the potatoes and blend until they are evenly coated.
5
Cover the cooking vessel, lower the heat to a low level, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes have achieved a deep caramelized color and are tender, approximately 1 hour. The sauce will darken as it cooks.
6
Stir in vanilla extract just before presenting the dish. Serve the candied potatoes hot.
