This is a good side-dish for Thanksgiving or Easter meal. It will taste authentic if real butter and fresh sweet potatoes are used. When my grandma prepared a special family meal, someone would be there to take a picture, and then the blessing was always said before we we dug in. Her meals were picture perfect, and she was an excellent cook. Ingredients: 3-4 fresh sweet potatoes, boil until tender 1 1/2 Tablespoons Butter 2/3 Cup Brown Sugar 1/3 Cup Water Scrub raw sweet potatoes, and place in heavy pot. Cover potatoes with water, bring to boil, and cook until tender. Drain, allow to cool, and peel. Slice into two inch chucks. Place in lightly greased baking dish. Bring butter, brown sugar, and water to boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Pour over sweet potatoes, and bake for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Yum!!! Have A Blessed Thankgiving
The candied yams sound realllllllly good...and thank goodness they do not have the melted marshmallows on them. Thanks for the recipe, I need it especially for Christmas dinner with my in-laws.
Toni, What I love about it is it is a traditional recipe, and is so easy and foolproof. (My grandmother started housekeeping in 1921.) I hope you all enjoy them!
Sorry, but I have to have those candied yams with mini marshmellows, mmmmmm. Their just so delicious. And what about the greenbean casserole-its greenbeans mixed with a can of mushroom soup sprinkled with Frenches, French fried onions, another good dish to serve.
Yes Petunia! I am making the green bean casserole for the very first time. I hope it turns out good. ( My youngest son hates onions so I will have to make something else for him.)
He might like these onions! I love them because they are crunchy!! I don't think you can go wrong with green bean anything!!! Deanna :-D
SongofJoy, what a wonderful photo!! And a great ideal for a family to always take a photo like that. Love the recipe. Never knew how to do that with fresh sweet potatoes.
I never put the onion rings on top since no one in my family would eat them, but we all really like the green beans/cream of mushroom soup casserole.
David can always tell . . . he does not like onions any way, any how. I have bought him fried rice and other things that happen to have onions, and he just patiently picks them out, and puts them to the side. I have a nephew who is the same way. He just loved my spaghetti. (I put onions in my spaghetti sauce.) One night while eating with me, he found one, and freaked out, "Ewwwwwe! There's onions in this!" My sister looked at me, and rolled her eyes. I had to come up with something fast! I said, "Let me see . . ." Then I looked at the bit of onion on his fork, and replied, "Jason, that is not an onion. That is just a scallion." He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Good, cause I hate onions!" We have never told him otherwise. LOL
