WALNUT CANDIED SWEET POTATOES
Boil 6 large sweet potatoes or yams in their jackets until barely tender; peel and cut in halves lengthwise. Cook together for 5 minutes in a large skillet:
1 cup brown sugar, cup water, teaspoon salt, dash of cinnamon, 2
tablespoons butter, and cup coarsely chopped walnuts. Put in the potatoes
and cook gently, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes, or until the syrup is thick and glazed. Serves 6 to 8. If preferred, the potatoes and syrup may be combined in a casserole, and baked, uncovered, in a moderately hot oven (375) about half an hour, turning them occasionally.
Alright, listen up! This is one fantastic dishWalnut Candied Sweet Potatoes. This recipe is going to elevate your sweet potatoes to a whole new level.
We're talking about sweet, savory, and a little bit nutty. Absolutely delightful, yeah? 🍠
First off, sweet potatoes, or yams if you prefer, are a powerhouse of nutrition. They've got all the right stuffvitamins, fiber, and a natural sweetness that's just waiting to be enhanced. You're going to boil these beauties in their jackets until they're just tender enough. This keeps them from falling apart when we peel and slice them.
The magic happens in the skillet. You're going to combine brown sugar, water, salt, a dash of cinnamon, butter, and those glorious walnuts. Brown sugar
gives us that deep, caramel-like sweetness, while a hint of salt balances the flavors. Cinnamon adds a warm, aromatic touch that makes everything better.
And butteroh, butter. It makes everything rich and silky. Walnuts bring a fantastic crunch and a bit of earthiness to the mix. 🥄
Once you've got this syrupy concoction simmering, in go the sweet potatoes. Gentle cooking is key here. You don't want to mash them up. Turn them occasionally, letting them soak up all that goodness. You'll know it's done when the syrup is thick and the sweet potatoes are beautifully glazed.
Now, if you prefer a different approach, you can combine the whole lot in a casserole dish and bake it. This method works just as well, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully in a moderately hot oven (375) for about half an hour. Turn them occasionally to make sure every piece is coated with that luscious syrup.
In the end, you've got a dish that's a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and nutty. These Walnut Candied Sweet Potatoes are going to be a showstopper at
any meal. So get in there and make it happen! Cheers!
