Recipe Introduction


Easy and so good! Serves 8


List of Ingredients





4 to 5 lg. sweet potatoes
 1 stick butter or margarine
 1 1/2 c. brown sugar
 2 tbsp. water

Recipe




   
 Peel potatoes, slice in half lengthwise and boil for 15 minutes,
   fork tender but not well done. 
Drain.  In a large skillet melt
   butter on medium heat.  Add brown sugar and stir until butter and
   sugar are well combined.  Stir in water, bring to a boil on medium
   heat and cook approximately 5 minutes.  With mixture at a continuous
   boil add potatoes, turning occasionally to coat both sides.
   Continue cooking until syrup thickens and potatoes are coated well.
   (If mixture is slow to thicken, increase heat but watch carefully to
   prevent burning.)
