sweet potatoes

sugar

brown sugar

butter,

Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch cubes. Place potatoes in large pot, cover with sugar, brown sugar and butter cook over medium heat until potatoes are fork tender (about 20 minutes) but not mushy.

i did not see the temperature listed but it was easy overall and tasted good

Potatoes were super easy and delish!they’re a treat!

Best sweet potatoes ever.  I make them every year.

This recipe is just yummy! I did however revise it a bit. To this recipe I add sliced apples and a half cup of dried cranberries. Everyone loved it at our party and asked for more and the recipe. 

It is my go to candied yams recipe, I use it as my base then make adjustments to create traditional baked holiday candied yams:  <div>I add 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon &amp; nutmeg.  I cook until the ingredients are melted and bubbly, then I transfer into a baking dish and finish off in the over. I prefer baked candied yams. But either way totally works! </div><div>When people ask me for a good &amp; easy candied yam recipe, THIS is the one I give them. So simple, so easy and soooo good!</div><div>FYI: when I want a twist, I add 1 cup of crushed pineapple  (yes pineapple) it gives it a really yummy spark. Don't knock it till ya try it :)</div>
