This is momma’s recipe! If you want the candied yams to be more syrupy, decease the water to 1/4 cup, you really don’t need as much as the recipe states.

These were really sweet. So I decreased the amount of sugar by half. Otherwise, my husband enjoyed them.

I cooked the potatoes on the stove first. Then I put them in the oven with the sugars and butter. I too used 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar. That is the only thing that I changed about this recipe. It was a hit with my family!

This is a great base recipe but you will probably have to experiment with the size of the cubes to get them to the consistency you like. I like it better with half the butter and sugar and then mashed to a hot buttery sticky sweet pulp. Then I eat it in a bowl all by itself.

I halved everything and it tasted great. Wicked easy. Stirred it at the end and made it smooth, and it was perfect. thanks.

I used canned sweet potatos to save on time. However , next time I will just make the syrup part on its own . Then add the canned potatos towards the end. I added everthing at once / potatos were too mushy . My fault.

I modified this dish to make it a little healthier, I love the basic taste of sweet potatoes and a touch of sugar. I sprinkled as much sugar as needed to lightly dust the sweet potatoes in the pan and then only added a dab of butter. My potatoes were done in 20 minutes. Great snack on its own.

These were outstanding. I must have used four really big yams, because it looked like there was hardly any water in the saucepan, so I added more and ended up with a lot of the syrupy stuff at the end, but thats was alright....I just added some more cubed yams and cooked them again. I also used half brown sugar and half white sugar and mixed the yams at the end with a hand mixture for a smoother consistency. Maybe I am just partial to butter and sugar...but these were terrific and easy to make. Thanks!!

These were pretty good. I sliced the potatoes and at the end, I dumped a bit of the butter sauce out.. layered the potatoes in a casserole dish, sprinkled some mini marshmallows over the top.. and broiled until the marshmallows turned golden brown. That is what made them 5 stars for me! (and my kids ate them too!) Next time I will add a little less butter and sugar. Thanks for the recipe

Over the holidays I had a get together at my house. I made this dish for the kids as I know how hard it is to get them to eat vegtables. The problem was the adults couldn't keep out of it. I had to share the recipe with everyone.

The recipe was awesome. I cooked it on the stove until it was tender. Then I threw it in the oven with some marshmellows and let it bake for a few more minutes. It was awesome.

This turned out great! I followed some other reviewers' advice and added cinnamon and nutmeg. I also changed it to 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar and put marshmallows on top at the end. Everyone loved it!
