Top of Stove Fried Candied Sweet Potatoes image

I have never Candied Sweet Potatoes in the oven. My mother and mother in law always cooked them in a pan on the stove burner and they were FANTASTIC !! Not ever a bite left. I hope you enjoy cooking them this way. I think long ago when they cooked on wood burning stoves this was an easier way. Also, the oven was reserved to cook...

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium firm, sweet potatoes
3/4 c white sugar
1/2 c water
5 Tbsp butter, room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Scrub, wash and peel potatoes, place in large bowl and cut into 1/2 inch slices across. Set aside.
  • 2. Spray a large, heavy skillet with a non stick cooking spray. Add slices of potatoes and the 3/4 cup of water.
  • 3. Bring to boil on Medium high, cap with the lid and turn burner down to low. Check occasionally about every 10 to 15 minutes, DO NOT STIR. May gently slide with a wooden spoon always replacing lid. When potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes or so, gently check with a fork. Add, butter, sugar and vanilla. About 1/2 cup of liquid should still remain in pan with potatoes. Recap with lid and simmer until sugar is melted, and butter and vanilla are incorporated with drippings.
  • 4. The drippings should thicken allowing you to turn potatoes gently with a spatula, don't let them stick. When Juice is thick and cooked real low, remove from burner. Leave lid on potatoes for a few more minutes to allow more steaming. The potato slices should have taken on a candied appearance.

These sweet potatoes were a disappointment. They were not caramelized at all and they were very bland. I will not be making them again.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. Just a few ingredients and you have a delicious side dish. I like to add a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sweet potatoes turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I served them with a maple glaze and they were a hit.

These sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were less caramelized.

These sweet potatoes were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had less cayenne pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sweet potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.
