GRAMMA'S GLAZED CANDIED SWEET POTATO SLICES



Gramma's Glazed Candied Sweet Potato Slices image

This is the recipe my gramma used to make, passed down to my mom and all of my 7 siblings. It takes times so grab yourself a cocktail and relax. It's worth the wait! One potato generally is enough for 1-2 people. Select sweet potatoes that are uniform in diameter. I do not like to use really chubby ones. I prefer to use an electric frying pan because it has the most even cooking temperature.

Time 1h40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 -4 sweet potatoes, medium with peels on, cut off ends if desired
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2-2 cups light brown sugar

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.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES



Candied Sweet Potatoes image

When Fred Harvey opened his first Harvey House restaurant in 1876 on the railway line in Topeka, Kan., his idea was radical for the time: Railroad passengers would be fed good food in a pleasant environment. His concept was so successful that it spawned 84 restaurants, a Hollywood movie and an official cookbook. And it was in "The Harvey House Cookbook" that we found this excellent recipe for sweet potatoes candied with confectioners' sugar and butter. It is best served warm rather than piping hot, which makes it convenient for big meals like Thanksgiving. Bake it before you roast your turkey, then reheat it briefly just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth-skinned sweet potatoes that are free of blemishes. Avoid any that are soft, bruised, or have cracks in the skin.
  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris from the surface of the potatoes and help the glaze adhere better.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the oven. Aim for slices that are about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Coat the sweet potato slices in the glaze: Make sure the slices are evenly coated in the glaze before baking. You can use a brush or your hands to do this.
  • Bake the sweet potato slices at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature of 400°F (200°C).
  • Keep an eye on the sweet potato slices while they are baking: They can burn easily, so it's important to check on them frequently and remove them from the oven when they are tender and slightly browned.

Conclusion:

These glazed candied sweet potato slices are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. The glaze gives them a beautiful shine and a sweet and tangy taste. Whether you are serving them at a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, these sweet potato slices are sure to be a hit.
