Here’s a recipe for Betty Crocker’s Classic Candied Sweet Potatoes, this is how I make mine every Thanksgiving:

Classic Candied Sweet Potatoes

- SERVES 6
Ingredients:

6 medium sweet potatoes or yams (2 pounds)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Scrub sweet potatoes, but do not peel. Place potatoes in 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water just to cover. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool slightly. Slip off skins. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.  OR, use a large can of yams, drained, and cut into chunks.
2. Heat remaining ingredients in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Add potatoes. Gently stir until glazed and hot.

1. How do you make mashed potatoes?
2. What do you wash pots and pans with?
3. Name something red in your refrigerator right now.
4. Do you prefer to use boullion cubes or the boullion powder mix?

And here are my answers!:

1. Well, most of the time I make Betty Crocker Instant Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, but I do sometimes make them from scratch.

2. Dawn dish soap and a Scotch-Brite green scratchy thing

3. Heinz Ketchup

4. I rarely use boullion but when I do I buy the cubes.

Sorry for the sparse posting this week, I’ve been focusing on my two Holiday Gift Guides. Next week I’ll hopefully be able to get back on track with posting recipes. Thanks for stopping by!
