Food Photo Purge - Linda's Sweet Potatoes


My mother, L-Beezy (that's her rap name; family joke), has been making these stove top sweet potatoes since I was little. Try as I might I have yet to perfect these...but I have a blast trying.


Thinly sliced sweet potatoes cooked in sugar and butter and cinnamon and vanilla creates this rich syrupy goodness that the oven baked marshmallow topped stuff can't match.  Once I perfect these, I will post a proper recipe.

My aunt makes her sweet potato's like this too!! Small world. The only difference is the way she cuts them. I tried to make these for Thanksgiving. Mine did not turn out like hers! LOL! They were okay but not like her's. There's something about the seasoned women and their cookin! I'm gonna keep trying too!

I have never known anyone to make them like this! They are so worth trying to perfect!

The sweet potato is my best friend. I have never tried them like this before. I am sure my kids would love them. Bring on the recipe!

Yum! This is the way that my family has prepared candied yams forever. The only difference is we slice them longways. For some reason, we prefer them that way. I'll eat them prepared other ways, but this is my absolute favorite.
