Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth potatoes that are free of blemishes or bruises. Garnet sweet potatoes are a good choice for this recipe, as they have a deep red color and a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Prick the potatoes before baking: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting in the oven.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be soft when you poke them with a fork. This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you are serving the potatoes.
  • Brush the potatoes with glaze several times during baking: This will help to create a nice, caramelized glaze on the potatoes.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: These potatoes are best served hot out of the oven. They can be topped with additional butter, salt, and pepper, if desired.

These red-hot Southern sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your own taste.
