How to Make Candied Sweet Potatoes

Let me quickly break down the steps before leaving you with the recipe.

1. Pick up your sweet potatoes. You need 3-4 pounds, about 5 or 6 medium sweet potatoes. Look for sweet potatoes with red skin that’s smooth and firm.
2. Peel & slice sweet potatoes. When you’re ready to make this dish, peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/2 inch slices. Place potato slices in a large casserole dish and toss with salt.
3. Make the sauce. Put all the sauce ingredients into a pot, boil 2 minutes, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Pour over sweet potatoes. Pour sauce over potatoes and toss everything together so the sauce evenly coats all the slices.
5. Bake for 1 hour. Stop and stir the sweet potatoes every 20 minutes.
