GRAMMA'S GLAZED CANDIED SWEET POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• Submerge potatoes in water. Bring to a boil & simmer until they are a cooked a little more than half way through. Check with a tooth pick.
• *** It is important to NOT overcook because they will continue to cook when simmering in the brown sugar glaze.
• When done boiling, pour off all the hot water and run cold water over them until they are cooled off. Do this as quickly as possible, running and changing the water until the potatoes are completely cold. This may take a few minutes. Drain. They can now rest for hours if need be.
• In an electric skillet, slowly melt butter until completely melted.
• Add enough light brown sugar to absorb all the butter.
• (I am not 100% of the amount listed above). Continue to use a low/medium heat until all the brown sugar melts and is no longer grainy. This can take up to an hour. You can let it bubble a bit around the edges but not too hard. Continually stirring w/ a spatula.
• In the mean time: peel your potatoes. I do this GENTLY with a paring knife.
• Slice thickly at least 3/4". If you cut them too thin, they will fall apart while cooking. Set aside in single layers.
• Once the sugar is ready & gooey, no longer grainy, place the slices, one by one, side by side, in the skillet. DO NOT move them around until ready to flip.
• When the edges of the slices are gathering a candy coating and darkening, flip them. The 2nd side will not take as long to cook.
• Gently lift out and place in a single layer on a warmed serving platter. I use a pie server to serve.

ADDICTIVE ROASTED SWEET POTATO ROUNDS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F. If using a toaster oven, select the BAKE setting and adjust the cooking rack to the lowest placement. Lightly oil a roasting pan or baking sheet.
• Slice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch rounds.
• In a medium bowl combine the slices, oil, cinnamon, and salt. Toss well to coat.
• Arrange rounds in a single layer on your prepared pan.
• Bake sweet potato slices for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the hot pan and flip the rounds with a fork or spatula.
• Return to the oven and cook until the sweet potatoes are golden and caramelized about 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Serve rounds plain or with your favorite toppings.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

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.

BROWN SUGAR GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH TOASTED PECANS

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. If the potatoes are very thick, cut in half lengthwise before slicing.
• In a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
• When the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, if using, and the water. Bring to a simmer.
• Add the sweet potato slices to the sugar mixture and stir to coat well. Cover and simmer, stirring and turning frequently, for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
• Meanwhile, in a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecan halves. Cook the pecans until they begin to brown lightly and smell toasty, turning frequently. Immediately pour the toasted pecans out onto a plate to stop the cooking process.
• Remove the cover from the skillet or Dutch oven and add the toasted pecan halves. Continue cooking -- while gently turning the sweet potatoes frequently -- until the juices are reduced to a thick syrup and the potatoes are nicely glazed. Watch carefully for scorching.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO ROUNDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Prep potatoes: Wash sweet potatoes and remove any growths or blemishes, but do not peel. Cut potatoes into 1/3 inch (10 mm) round slices.
• Season potatoes: Drizzle olive oil onto large sheet pan and spread until even on baking sheet. Add potato rounds to pan with one side facing down to cover with oil, then flip all potato medallions to make sure each side is lightly oiled. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional desired spices.
• Bake until golden brown: Bake in oven for a total of 40-45 minutes, flipping once about halfway through and until both sides are lightly browned and crispy on the edges.
