Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 3-4 large sweet potatoes (peeled and sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds)
- 1 cup pecan halves
- ¾ cup butter (melted (12 tablespoons))
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Instruction
- Place sweet potato rounds in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender (do not over-cook, they should still be slightly firm and not mushy). Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add pecans, melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl and stir to combine making sure potatoes are well-coated.
- Transfer mixture to a large casserole dish and bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes until sugars are dissolved and potatoes are very easily pierced with a fork. Stir the potatoes to coat with the sauce at the bottom of the dish and serve.
