Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • ¼ cup orange juice

Directions

  1. Boil cut-up sweet potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes.

Recipe Tips

If the syrup is too thin, you can add a bit more brown sugar.

You can also bake the sweet potatoes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until fork-tender.
