Ingredients
  
  • 4 lbs Sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 1/4 cups Corn syrup
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 cup + 2 tsp Light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
 
  • Prepare the potatoes by washing them and setting them to boil.

  • Prepare the baking dish.
    Melt the butter on low heat and add a cup of brown sugar.

  • Get back to the sweet potatoes. Remove them from heat and drain the access water.
    Let the potatoes cool down in a bowl filled with cold water. It should take around 10-15 minutes.
    In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350𐩑F.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch thick circular shapes.
    Transfer the cup of potatoes onto the baking sheet and top with the candied sauce.
    Then sprinkle 2 garnishing tablespoons of brown sugar onto the potatoes.
  • Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for around 45-60 minutes.
    Monitor the progress every 10-15 minutes and give the potato mixture a mix for even cooking.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven once ready and allow them to sit for a while.
    Then drizzle some caramel sauce on top and serve!
