Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Total time: 60 minutes
These are not overly sweet - no mini-marshmallows. The taste of the sweet potatoes shines through and is enhanced, rather than overpowered, by the maple.
Ingredients:
- 24oz (1 1/2 lb, 720gr) sweet potatoes, 2 large
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbs butter
- pinch of nutmeg
Instructions:
- Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 3/4 inch (2cm) rounds (the short way).
- Cook in boiling, salted water until just tender, easily pierced with a knife.
- Remove and drain.
- While potatoes cook heat the syrup, butter and brown sugar to boiling in a small saucepan.
- Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
- To assemble: Lay the potatoes in a baking dish just large enough to hold them all easily. Don't fuss with the layers but do spoon a bit of syrup over each potato slice.
- Pour the rest of the syrup over the top and bake, uncovered, 350F (175F) for 30 minutes.
- Baste once after 15 minutes with the syrup from the bottom of the baking dish. Serve.
