SOUTHERN CANDIED YAMS (OLD FASHIONED SOUL FOOD RECIPE)


JUMP TO RECIPE
A rich and flavorful southern-style candied yam recipe made with chopped sweet potatoes cooked in a sweet, buttery syrup until tender and glazed. This is an authentic soul food candied sweet potato recipe that you will find yourself making for every holiday and Sunday dinner!

Growing up in a Black Mississippi family, there is not a single Thanksgiving dinner, celebration meal, or Sunday dinner that was served without a big ol' pan of candied yams as one of the leading sides.

This recipe took me a very long time to perfect, and I have finally gotten these candied sweet potatoes to taste exactly like the yams my grandmother made when I was growing up in Mississippi!


INGREDIENTS YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE Sweet potatoes. This recipe calls for 3 pounds of sweet potatoes. Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into about Β½ inch thick rounds.
Granulated sugar. To sweeten the yams and make the syrupy baking liquid.
Dark brown sugar. To combine with the granulated sugar and butter to create the syrup for the yams.
Unsalted butter. Butter is combined with sugar to create the baking liquid for the sweet potatoes.
Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract. To flavor the candied yams.

It's the SAME ingredients :mjlol: :unimpressed: :palm:

I just had a slice of Pecan & Sweet Potato back to back and honestly I enjoyed the pecan pie very much whereas the sweet potato after eating was just kinda ":ehh:" to me :yeshrug: I think Sweet Potato is highly overrated or maybe the restaurant I got it from wasn't hittin the spot but still...

Tell on yourself. :mjlol: The preparation is entirely different.

edit: Put simply, what you are trying to imply would suggest one could simply take the baked potato and scoop it into a pie crust and they would have sweet potato pie. But anyone who has prepared these two items knows the texture would be entirely different, taste as well, they aren't the same. Baking is pure chemistry, they couldn't be the same due to the preparation steps.
