Lott Family sweet potatoes

By socalnativelala

Ingredients

• 5-6 sweet potatoes, 2-3 inch diameter
• 1 lb box dark brown sugar
• 2 sticks butter
• kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

We make these the night before so that they have time to soak in the juice. Use about 5-6 of the 2-3 inch around sweet potatoes. She wanted me to also make sure to tell you to cut them in half and then slice them. Boil them until they are just tender and easy to peel. When you fry them you are basically just heating them up. Don't cook them until they fall apart. Melt 2 sticks of butter and add a box of dark brown sugar. If you need more add a half a stick of butter and about a 1/4 of a box of sugar. Stir until the sauce is thick. Add them to a dish, salt each layer and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. The day of heat them up in the 350 oven covered with foil.
