This turned out pretty well. family liked it. Added 2 Tbs more of "real" butter and a used pinch of fresh ground vanilla bean. Was rich is flavor. This is worth giving a try.

very good, but a little too sweet. With less sugar, these are excellent.

I don't know what I did wrong, but these didn't turn out the way they were supposed to. I cut the ingredient list in half as it was only my husband and I eating, but other reviewers have done this and their recipe turned out fine. The problem was that the 'sauce' just would not reduce. I cooked the potatoes with the lid on for about 30 minutes, and after that time the sauce wasn't even close to starting to reduce and the potatoes were cooked, so I removed the lid and left them for another half hour, we just ended up with a very gloopy, sticky sauce. The flavour wasn't bad (hence 3 stars), but they were VERY sweet, so I'm not sure how quick I will be to make these again.

These sweet potatoes were, by far, the best I ever had! They were extremely easy to make and everyone loved them! My mother-in-law was even impressed! She actually suggested not having them for Thanksgiving because she said nobody ever ate them...well, guess what, everyone ate mine!!! I did sub 1/4 of the sugar with brown sugar, but other than that followed to scale! YUM YUM YUM! Thanks!!!!!

I made these on Thanksgiving. Since the majority of my family are not fond of sweet potatoes, I scaled the recipe down to 4 servings. I thought that they were pretty good. My kids wouldn't touch them...but they are picky. They were very easy to make.

Turned out great! I didn't have trouble with burning at all, in fact I think I was being over cautious b/c I had to turn up the heat to thicken the sauce and cook the potatoes slices more. And you would not believe how easy it is to forget the vanilla!! Still turns out great nonetheless.

First time I ever made sweet potatoes, and everyone thought they were delicious. I found, though, that at the end of my hour, the sauce was not carmelized but very liquid, so I removed the potatoes, as they were fully cooked, and simmered the remaining liquid with the cover removed til it carmelized and then poured it back over my potatoes.

Each Thanksgiving I search for the recipe that will satisfiy my husbands desire for candied sweet potatoes. This year with this recipe he said I'm getting close, but the "candied" portion was "syrup" and not thick. He did say they were tasty though.

This was terrific. Made for Thanksgiving. Even those in the group that didn't like sweet potatoes took second servings. I cooked ahead of time and then put in a casserole dish for a half hour on low temp during the last minutes of the turkey. That way was able to enjoy happy hour with family instead of slaving over the stove!

Nice change from the way too sugary marshmellow stuff!!!! This focuses much more on the sweet potato flavor and is not super sugary!

This was the best tasting recipie for sweet potatoes. My husband and children loved them and I have never been able to get them to eat sweet potatoes before. This has become a regular dish for our house hold.

do you steam/boil the potatoes first? are they yams (orange) or sweet potatoes (white)?

Excellent side dish. My whole family loved them. Didn't have nutmeg so used allspice instead. If you like soft potatoes like us, slice thin.

Wonderful recipe! Candied sweet potatoes have always been one of my favorite side dishes. I have made this dish several times now, and each time the results have been perfect. If you're big on presentation I would suggest cutting the sweet potatoes in thick slices, and be gentle while stiring. They tend to get very soft while cooking.

Excellent. This how sweet potatoes are supposed to be. Y'all with "southern" sweet potatoes they are supposed to be saucy, juicy or runny. So, don't try to boil or get rid of the brown sauce, if you want, just pour some or all of the sauce off. Cut the SWEET POTATOES not YAMS(looks like a sweet potato, but kind of stringy when cooking) in bigger chunks. I have eaten sweet potatoes for years and they are supposed to be SWEET, SAUCY and MUSHY or mashed.

delicious! I loved the fact that it cooked on the stove top. I did cut down on the sugar and used brown instead of white. I used about a cup of sugar instead of two. otherwise, I followed it to a tee!!
