Before I married Tim I don't think I had ever tried a bite of sweet potato. Then we got married and I learned that Prusse's love sweet potatoes, and I tasted these and realized why. They are so delicious. Sweet, but not too sweet. Pretty much perfect.
4 lbs. sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and chunked
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 Tbls. butter
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
black pepper
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and put chunked potatoes in and cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes. While potatoes are baking, in a medium saucepan combine brown sugar, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat until it bubbles, stirring frequently. Simmer one minute. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Keep warm until potatoes finish first 20 minutes. Remove potatoes and pour brown sugar mixture over the top and stir. Bake uncovered an additional 40-45 minutes, until potatoes are tender and glazed. Half way through, baste with juices. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
