My Thanksgiving Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Peel the potatoes, then cut into large chunks. Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil the chunks just until a little tender when piercing with a fork. (Will only take a few minutes, don't boil till mushy.) Remove potatoes from pot, but reserve some of the liquid (approximately 1/3 cup). In skillet, melt butter. Add at least one cup brown sugar and stir until well mixed up. (You may need more brown sugar later if it does not thicken up to make a nice glaze. You want it to be like a nice, thick syrup consistency.) Add about half to all of the reserved 1/3 cup liquid from the boiling pot. Continue stirring until thick. Again, add more brown sugar if it doesn't thicken up nicely. Add yams or sweet potatoes to skillet and gently toss in the glaze until it thickens up and potatoes are heated through. (Keep an eye on the glaze. Stir it occasionally around the potatoes, and keep coating potatoes. If it doesn't begin to thicken up, you'll need to add a little more brown sugar until it thickens up nicely.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes in a 10x6 inch shallow baking dish and pour orange juice over.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt; mix together and cut in margarine. Sprinkle over sweet potatoes.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with marshmallows and broil until browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Scrub the potatoes, prick them several times with a knife or fork, and bake them for 1 hour or until very soft when pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and scoop out the insides as soon as they are cool enough to handle. Place the sweet potato meat into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and add the orange juice, cream, butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix together until combined but not smooth and transfer to a baking dish.
• Bake the potatoes for 20 to 30 minutes, until heated through.
