Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds sweet potatoes/yams (about 7 small/medium)
8 Tbsp butter (1 stick)
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Wash the potatoes well. Add to a pot with enough water to cover them by a few inches with a few more inches of room to the top of the pot. You don't want them to boil over. Simmer sweet potatoes 25-50 minutes. This varies greatly, depending on size of potato. Test with fork; should be very soft inside Remove from water and let cool on paper towel. Cut in half to speed cooling if desired. Remove skin by gently scraping with table knife; scrape a little deeper over eyes or blemishes to remove them. Cut in half and put in greased pan, flat side up. Add butter, brown sugar and syrup Bake uncovered at 350* for about 30 minutes or until hot and butter melted.
