This is the easiest way I have found to make candies sweet potatoes and I wanted to share this recipe with all of you.
6 lg. sweet potatoes 2 C. sugar 1 stick butter 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Peel and slice potatoes. Put into baking dish. Pour sugar over potatoes, dot with margarine and sprinkle with nutmeg. Cover with foil and place pan in 350 degree oven. Cook 1 hour, then remove foil and cook 15 minutes more. If potatoes make too much juice, pour off some, and then cook a few more minutes. Juice will then get syrupy.
