Countdown #10 Stove Top Candied Sweet Potatoes with Crunchy Topping image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt
3/4 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter plus 2 tablespoons melted
1 generous pinch pumpkin pie spice
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups corn cereal (recommended: Corn Flakes)
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Add a generous pint of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are slightly soft but still hold their shape, 10 to 12 minutes. Strain and place back in the pot.
  • Combine the chicken broth and brown sugar in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of butter, pumpkin pie spice, a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the cooked sweet potatoes and gently toss to coat. Cook until the liquid has reduced down and is a syrupy consistency and the sweet potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes, making sure to stir every minute.
  • In a large bowl combine the corn cereal, pecans, maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons melted butter and stir until combined. Set aside.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with an even layer of marshmallows and let cook for 3 minutes to allow them to melt a bit. Top with the crunchy topping. Reduce heat to low and cook until marshmallows are completely melted, about 2 minutes.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few sweet potatoes left over after Thanksgiving, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the pecans in the crunchy topping. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sweet potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.
