Bren's Sweet PotatoesI don't know the measurements. I guess on things when I cook... Okay, this is how I make mine. I peel and cut them into large
chunks then boil them in water (maybe 3/4 of the way up the pan but not
usually covering all the yams). I add a cup or two of packed brown
sugar (it depends on how many yams I'm making), half as much white
sugar as brown sugar, some vanilla extract (maybe a few teaspoons?),
cinnamon & nutmeg (to taste. I always use less at first because you
can add more in the end). I also add usually one stick of "butter" (I
use margarine because we don't use real butter). Bring it all to a boil
and then simmer for 30+ mins (the liquid will began to get a bit
thick). I then put all the yams in a baking dish. If we are going
somewhere (I always bring the yams) I'll just cover and put them in the
fridge to bake them later at who's ever house we are going to. After
they are in the baking dish I'll sprinkle more brown sugar, flour,
oatmeal (like a crumble mix) on top and bake at 350ish for about 25-30
mins. Oh, put a baking sheet under the dish because it will boil over a
bit. I don't like marshmallows on mine but you can put them on for the
last few minutes if you want. |
