Grandma Style Sweet Potatoes

You will need:

• 4 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and then cut into 1/2″ pieces
• 1/2 stick un salted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

1. I use a large cast iron skillet to make this. Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Stove top melt the butter in the skillet then add all the sweet potatoes, salt and turn to coat with the butter. Allow this to cook for about 5 minutes, do not burn the butter. Keep the heat low.
3. Now add the maple syrup and turn to coat all the potatoes. Allow this to cook on a medium heat for 10 minutes turning to coat the potatoes every couple minutes.
4. Add the brown sugar and turn to coat the potatoes and then place the skillet into the oven to finish cooking. I let mine go for 30-45 minutes until they are completely done.
5. Remove from the oven and mash the potatoes.
