This was my mom’s recipe for my dad’s birthday celebration last Sunday. Two colorful varieties of sweet potato sweetened with a salty twist.
The dish is simple to make. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into cubes. Put in a pan, add water to cover the potato, 1/2 cup to 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of butter. Bring everything to a boil and simmer till the sweet potatoes are cooked. Remove the sweet potatoes from the pan and continue to boil the syrup till it is thick. Mix the syrup and sweet potatoes before serving. This is best served warm. The blend of colors really looked lovely, I wish I’d taken a really great picture so I could have a ordered a custom picture framing for it and hang it on the kitchen.
