how do you make sweet potatoes with brown sugar?

Answer 1

Well, I can make some pretty good sweet potatoes and what I do is get about 4 big sweet potatoes and peel the skin off of them. Cut them into kinda big chunks. Put them in a pot w/ about may 2 to 3 cups of water (don't put too much or they will cook too much and be too mushy) Add cinnamon and sugar (white or brown----I use a lot cause I like mine sweet. Let it cook on med. until the potatoes are tender. I like mine kinda mashed but with chunks w/ marshmallows on top.

Cut 3/4 of the way through the sweet potato and put some butter and brown sugar inside. Wrap them up in foil and pop them into a hot oven for at least an hour.

Answer 4

Cook potatoes in boiling water till kind of tender. Cool, peel and cut into slices. In a frying pan melt butter and add brown sugar. Stir until it thickens. Add the potatoes back and mix up gently so as not to mash up potatoes. Really tasty. No need for marshmallows or pecans.
