Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 8 medium), peeled
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Cut the sweet potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve or quarter any extra-large pieces so that they are all similar in size.
  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven and whisk until it forms a paste. Add the potatoes and stir well, spooning the sugar mixture over the potatoes to coat evenly.
  • Cover and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking them up, until they are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife and the sauce resembles a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until dark brown with a light scent of roasted nuts, about 8 minutes. Season the pecans with some salt while warm, let them cool completely and coarsely chop.
  • Transfer the potatoes with their sauce to a large serving platter and sprinkle the pecans over the top.

MOM'S CANDIED YAMS WITH CARAMEL



Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel image

I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yams: Look for firm, unblemished yams that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Peel and cut the yams evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing when they're layered in the baking dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Leave a little space between the yam slices so they can cook evenly and get a nice golden brown crust.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the yams with flavor and keep them moist during baking.
  • Bake the yams until they're tender: Check the yams with a fork or toothpick to make sure they're done before removing them from the oven.
  • Serve the yams immediately: Candied yams are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can garnish them with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or fresh thyme for a pop of color and flavor.
