These perfect candied sweet potatoes are soft, buttery, extra saucy, caramelized, and sweet. I especially love this Thanksgiving side dish because you can prepare the elements of this recipe ahead of time AND purchase the ingredients in advance, too.

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

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.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH MANDARIN ORANGE RECIPE



Candied Sweet Potatoes with mandarin orange Recipe image

Provided by LittleKathy

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 med. Sweet potatoes, cooked and peeled
Mandarin orange liquid
1/3 cup syrup
1 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
pinch of salt
1 can mandarin oranges drained (save liquid)
1/3 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Brown sugar
Butter

Steps:

  • Slice sweet potatoes 1 inch thick and boil. Combine orange liquid, orange juice, syrup, water, and salt. Boil 10 minutes. Place cooked sweet potatoes in buttered baking dish. Sprinkle generously with brown sugar, coconut, and mandarin oranges. Cover with hot sauce, dot with butter. Bake at 300 for 1 hour, basting frequently

Tips:

  • Use firm, brightly colored sweet potatoes for the best results.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes thinly to avoid wasting the flesh.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the sweet potatoes in the pot when boiling them. They should be in a single layer.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the syrup reaches the correct temperature for candying.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Stir the sweet potatoes gently in the syrup to coat them evenly.
  • Transfer the candied sweet potatoes to a wire rack to cool and dry.
  • Store the candied sweet potatoes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied sweet potatoes with mandarin orange is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for any occasion.
