Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium sweet potatoes
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons finely shredded lemon peel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. In large pot place potatoes with enough water to cover. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat, simmer 10 to 12 minutes or just until potatoes are tender but not soft. (Potatoes should be tender on the outside but resistant in center when pierced with tip of pairing knife.) Drain potatoes; cool. Meanwhile put water, sugars and salt in nonreactive small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring just until the sugars are dissolved. Simmer 8 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, grated nutmeg, and 2 Tbsp. butter. Butter a large shallow glass or ceramic baking dish with remaining butter. Peel potatoes; cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in single layer in baking dish. Pour lemon syrup over. Bake in the preheated oven 40 to 50 minutes, basting occasionally until potatoes are well-glazed and begin to caramelize on edges. Remove from oven; cool slightly before serving. Serve hot or warm garnished with lemon peel. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

These sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory glaze. Otherwise, they were very good.

These sweet potatoes were a bit bland. I think I would have added some more spices to the glaze. Otherwise, they were very good.

I had some trouble getting the glaze to stick to the sweet potatoes. I ended up having to brush them with melted butter before adding the glaze. Other than that, they were delicious.

These sweet potatoes were easy to make and turned out great. I used a combination of brown sugar and honey for the glaze, which gave them a nice caramelized flavor. I also added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg for some extra spice.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but these were surprisingly good. The lemon glaze really brightens up the flavor and makes them more palatable. I'll definitely be making these again.
