Classic Candied Yams image

With just the right amount of sweetness and spice, these sweet potatoes are cooked on the stovetop until they are tender, freeing up valuable oven space at your holiday meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 8 medium), peeled
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Cut the sweet potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve or quarter any extra-large pieces so that they are all similar in size.
  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven and whisk until it forms a paste. Add the potatoes and stir well, spooning the sugar mixture over the potatoes to coat evenly.
  • Cover and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking them up, until they are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife and the sauce resembles a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until dark brown with a light scent of roasted nuts, about 8 minutes. Season the pecans with some salt while warm, let them cool completely and coarsely chop.
  • Transfer the potatoes with their sauce to a large serving platter and sprinkle the pecans over the top.

MOM'S CANDIED YAMS WITH CARAMEL



Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel image

I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter casserole, use sweeter varieties of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala. For a tarter casserole, use Granny Smith or Braeburn apples.
  • If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane or the fine side of a cheese grater to zest the lemon.
  • Be sure to use fresh nutmeg for the best flavor. Pre-ground nutmeg will not have as much flavor.
  • If you don't have a casserole dish, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Cover the casserole with foil when baking to prevent the top from getting too brown.
  • Let the casserole cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Candied yam and apple casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart flavors of the apples and yams complement each other perfectly, and the crunchy pecan topping adds a nice finishing touch. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
