Old-Fashioned Candied Sweet Potatoes image

Member's Choice! Sweet potatoes on the holidays are a staple side dish. These candied ones are simple to make and divine. They're filled with butter, sugar, and spice. By cooking in the cast iron, the potatoes are tender and sweet with little crispy edges. If you want to get real fancy, sprinkle with some chopped pecans.
