Recipe: Pineapple Sweet Potatoes

I’ve had this recipe for years… it’s a really different alternative to candied yams… very easy and tasty!

Pineapple Sweet Potatoes Recipe

All you need:

6 medium sized sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
½ cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoon margarine or butter
½ teaspoon salt
1 can (8 ¼ oz.) crushed pineapple in syrup, undrained

All you need to do:

Place sweet potatoes in a 3 quart saucepan and cover with water.

Remove the potatoes and set aside… cover the pot and heat water until boiling.

Add the potatoes and cover.

Heat the potatoes until boiling.

Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until potatoes are tender.

Drain and cool slightly.

Slip off the potato skins.

Cut the sweet potatoes into ½ inch slices.

Heat the remaining ingredients in a 9 inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly.

And the potato slices. Toss the slices gently until coated with glaze.
