Glazed Or Candied Sweet Potatoes - sweet potatoes

Method

• Boil the potatoes without paring them, and when tender drain and strip off skins.
• Make a syrup by boiling together the sugar and water.
• Cut each potato in half or in thick slices, dip each piece into the syrup and lay it in a greased baking-dish.
• Season with salt and pepper and bits of butter.
• When all the potatoes are in the dish, pour over it any syrup that remains and bake in oven 400° until the potatoes are brown.
• They will brown quickly.
