Sweet Sweet Sweet Potatoes (or Yams)

Sweet Potatoes are the same vegetable as Yams. We didn't have them as children in our homes. I remember the first time I ever tasted them when I was in High School. I had gone to my school friend Melissa's house and her mom, Mary Jane had served them! I was HOOKED! Now I never have a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner without them!

To cook them you will need:

one large sweet potato, or 2 small ones
about 6 - 10 dabs of butter/margarine
a handful of brown sugar to sprinkle on top

Peel and cut your sweet potatoes into circles that are about a half inch or one centimeter thick. Put them into a large, greased casserole dish with a lid. Put the dabs of butter on top randomly and sprinkle on your brown sugar. Put the lid on the dish and into the oven it goes! I do this when I have the meat pies reheating just before serving. It takes about an hour in a 350 oven, but it gives you lots of time for the last minute things like mashing the potatoes and stirring the gravy. Stir lightly and serve hot. MMMMMM

Merry Christmas!
