My mom always makes these type of sweet potatoes, regardless what others we have for the Holidays. Yesterday we had them with our Turkey Dinner...Yum!

Categories     Potatoes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 - 4 large sweet potatoes - peeled and sliced 3/4 inch thick
1/2 tsp salt for potatoes
1/2 c + 2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
pinch salt
1 small can - pineapple chunks - drained- reserving 1/4 cup juice
1 tsp vanilla
pecans - optional- we didn't add them this time

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, add potatoes and 1/2 tsp salt, cover with water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook until fork tender and drain. In another saucepan, add the butter, brown sugar, pinch salt, pineapple juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened some - won't be real thick, more like a glaze. If you want a thicker glaze, add a small amount of corn starch to the pineapple juice before adding. Once sauce is to desired thickness and potatoes are cooked. Add the drained pineapple to the glaze and cook until heated through. Stir in the vanilla. Gently toss the sweet potatoes with the glaze, being careful not to break up potatoes too much. Heat through for a few minutes and pour into a serving dish. Sprinkle with pecans if using. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes turned out terrible. I'm not going to try this recipe again.

This recipe was a waste of time. The potatoes were mushy and the glaze was too sweet.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. There are better candied sweet potato recipes out there.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks.

The potatoes were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

I made this dish for my family last night and they loved it. The potatoes were perfectly caramelized and the pineapple added a nice sweetness.

These candied sweet potatoes with pineapple were a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! They were perfectly sweet and tangy, and the pineapple added a nice tropical flavor.
