This glazed sweet potatoes recipe is one of my favorite ways to make them. Sweet potatoes cooked in a skillet along with brown sugar, butter, and other seasonings just delicious It's especially good with ham or for a holiday meal. A very simple recipe with just a few ingredients, and takes only 30 minutes from start to finish. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thick slices, then throw on the seasonings and cook. It's a nice change of pace from the rich sweet potato casserole, a sweet potato and marshmallow dish, or something more complicated like hasselback sweet potatoes. If you prefer to keep preparation simple, this is an excellent choice. If you want to jazz the dish up a bit, see the variation ideas below the recipe instructions.
