Categories     Dinner

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

5-6 medium sweet potatoes (3-4 lbs)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons (30ml) water
1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional: 2 teaspoons orange zest
optional for garnish: chopped fresh or dried rosemary, sea salt

Steps:

  • Peel then slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place in a greased 9×13 inch or other 3 quart baking dish. Sprinkle salt on top and toss to coat. I just use nonstick spray to grease.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
  • Cut stick of butter in half. (Helps it melt easier.) Combine all the butter, water, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the butter has melted. Stop stirring and bring to a gentle boil. Boil for 2 minutes without stirring. Remove sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. (And orange zest, if using.)
  • Pour sauce over potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Bake for 1 hour, stopping and stirring the sweet potatoes every 20 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, I cover the dish with aluminum foil so the potatoes bake evenly.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt (if using), then cool uncovered for 10 minutes before serving. The sauce is thin right out of the oven but thickens as it cools.
  • Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Sauce will be thick after refrigeration, but thins out as you warm the leftovers up. Simply warm in the microwave.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES



Candied Sweet Potatoes image

It's hard to imagine a Thanksgiving feast without a bowl of glossy, candied sweet potatoes with pecans. Plus, we've mastered a genius trick that makes peeling these sweet spuds a breeze. When you boil the potatoes with their skins on, you can peel and slice them with ease after they've cooled. So you can put away your vegetable peeler and let the hot water do the heavy lifting. Cooking the potatoes brings out their natural sweetness, which is well complemented by the mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, apple juice, brown sugar and butter. Together, all these ingredients add up to complex flavor. They introduce a bit of spice and acidity, which tames the sweetness in this dish and keeps it from becoming cloying. Chopped pecans and Honey Nut Cheerios™ make for a crispy topping that perfectly contrasts with the soft texture of the candied sweet potatoes.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES



Candied Sweet Potatoes image

When Fred Harvey opened his first Harvey House restaurant in 1876 on the railway line in Topeka, Kan., his idea was radical for the time: Railroad passengers would be fed good food in a pleasant environment. His concept was so successful that it spawned 84 restaurants, a Hollywood movie and an official cookbook. And it was in "The Harvey House Cookbook" that we found this excellent recipe for sweet potatoes candied with confectioners' sugar and butter. It is best served warm rather than piping hot, which makes it convenient for big meals like Thanksgiving. Bake it before you roast your turkey, then reheat it briefly just before serving.
