"We always had these potatoes on Thanksgiving. It's a tradition as long as I can remember."

OVEN - 350 degrees

INGREDIENTS/DIRECTIONS:

4 Yams

1 bag light brown sugar

2 TBSP. Butter

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

2 cups water

Sweet Potatoes/Yams (rinse, leave skin on)

Parboil until knife makes it almost through potato (if they overcook it is okay)

Let cool.

PEEL and cut lengthwise and arrange in baking dish.

While potatoes are cooking take 

2 cups of water, butter, brown sugar and nutmeg and bring to a boil (slowly)

Use 2 qt. pan as brown sugar takes room until melted.

STIR until dissolved.

POUR liquid over potatoes and baste while in oven - 

COOK 1 1/2 hours (or until the potatoes are brownish)

You can do potatoes early and do liquid before putting in oven.
