Candied Sweet Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

sweet potatoes
2 c. white sugar
2 c. white syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon or as desired
1 Tbsp. butter

Preparation

Peel and slice at least 1 inch thick enough sweet potatoes to fill a 3-quart saucepan very full.
Add water and boil potatoes a few minute, but do not overcook.
Potatoes should still be firm. Remove from water into a 13 x 9 1/2 x 2-inch deep baking dish and arrange evenly in pan.
Sprinkle salt, cinnamon and butter over potatoes and add sugar and syrup evenly.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until syrup thickens.
Gently turn potatoes 2 to 3 times during baking process so all potatoes will candy evenly.
