Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preparation:
  2. Heat butter in a large heavy skillet. When butter is melted, add the sliced sweet potatoes. Cover and lower heat. After about 5 minutes, uncover and turn the sweet potatoes with a spatula. Cover and continue to cook until tender, another 5 minutes. Check frequently to make sure the potatoes don't burn. Uncover and continue to cook for a few minutes, to glaze the potatoes. Serve hot.
  3. You can also peel the potatoes and boil for about 5 min. then slice 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and saute in a melted brown sugar and butter mixture til done.
  4. The butter would work better for higher heat if it was clarified (heated and all particles that don't melt removed, just pure liquid left).
  5. You can add cinnamon, brown sugar or any number of spices. I am going to top mine with candied pecans, but my wife likes marshmallows and cashews on her sweet potatoes. I also like a little maple syrup or Molasses added.
  6. I made these for thanksgiving and I made a simple syrup(1 to 1 sugar and water) added a small amount of cinnamon and a little maple syrup and about a tsp of vanilla extract with about half a stick of un-salted butter.I let syrup thicken and covered the yams
  7. About half way up. I used 4 large yams I sliced them about 1/2 thick and layered them standing on the edge in a a large baking dish. I let them cook awhile and then put on the glazed pecans this was a very much talked about dish at the meal. I did boil yams about 5 min. before slicing.
