Candied Sweet Potatoes
This is a variation on the classic recipe more often referred to as “candied yams.” Did you know that calling sweet potatoes “yams” is actually a misnomer? Yams are rarely sold in this country, so quite often, what you see sold as yams are actually sweet potatoes. I make this dish for nearly every Thanksgiving dinner.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 2
Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Add the sliced potatoes, stir well, and transfer to a shallow 1 1/2-quart round or 9 by 13-inch oblong baking dish.
Step 3
Cover and bake until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 40 minutes. Stir once or twice during that time to distribute the liquid over the potatoes. Bake, uncovered, until the glaze thickens, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve
