Ingredients

  • 6 medium sweet potatoes

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar divided

  • Place sweet potatoes in stock pot and fill with enough water to cover.

  • Cover the bottom of a 2 quart baking dish with one layer of sweet potatoes.
  • Place 5 slices of butter over the sweet potatoes.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the butter.
