CANDIED SWEET POTATOES



Candied Sweet Potatoes image

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.

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.

EASY CREAMY MASHED SWEET POTATOES



Easy Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes image

These easy mashed sweet potatoes are on the savory side, but you can add a few extra ingredients for a sweeter version. See our tips in the notes section below for our suggestions. You can simmer, bake, microwave, or use a pressure cooker to cook the sweet potatoes. Our preferred method is to simmer the potatoes since this takes a similar amount of time when using a pressure cooker and when microwaving them and less time than when using an oven. We have included the steps for cooking sweet potatoes in the oven, microwave, and pressure cooker in the article above.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 6 servings (about 5 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean (5 to 6 small-to-medium)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 bay leaf, optional or a substitute fresh thyme or rosemary sprig
3 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon or more to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream, heavy cream, milk or half-and-half, optional
Fine herbs and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add to a large pot and add enough water so that they are covered by about one inch of water. Add the salt and bay leaf.
  • Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, and then return the potatoes to the pot. Or if you plan to use a food processor, add them directly to the processor bowl. (A food processor makes extra silky mashed sweet potatoes.)
  • Add the butter, cinnamon, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher until your desired consistency. If using a food processor, pulse until your desired consistency.
  • For extra creamy sweet potatoes, stir in sour cream or a splash of heavy cream, milk, or half-and-half. Serve with extra butter and chopped fresh herbs (optional) on top.
