Best Candied Yams Potato Pancakes Recipes

SWEET POTATOES & YAMS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, blend flours, baking soda, pie spice, and salt. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together eggs, puree, vanilla, and honey. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until lump-free. Fold in the chocolate chips.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the surface with coconut oil and drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles begin to break on the surface and the edges look dry, then flip. Both sides should be golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup. We also like apple slices and almond butter with ours!

CANDIED YAMS

SOUTHERN CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices.
• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet and add the sliced sweet potatoes.
• Mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Cover the sweet potatoes with sugar mixture and stir. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low and cook for about 1 hour or until potatoes are "candied". They should be tender but a little hard around the edges. Also the sauce will turn dark. You will need to stir occasionally during the cooking. Stir in the vanilla just before serving. Serve hot.

CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Cut the sweet potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve or quarter any extra-large pieces so that they are all similar in size.
• Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven and whisk until it forms a paste. Add the potatoes and stir well, spooning the sugar mixture over the potatoes to coat evenly.
• Cover and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking them up, until they are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife and the sauce resembles a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until dark brown with a light scent of roasted nuts, about 8 minutes. Season the pecans with some salt while warm, let them cool completely and coarsely chop.
• Transfer the potatoes with their sauce to a large serving platter and sprinkle the pecans over the top.
