Southern-Style Candied Yams

Ingredients: What You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful Southern staple, perfect for serving 4-6 people:

• 4 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds): Peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. These are the heart of your dish.
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter: Cut into pieces; this will melt into the syrup, creating that luscious glaze.
• 1 cup granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create that beautiful caramelization.
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed: For a deeper, molasses-like flavor that complements the sweet potatoes perfectly.
• 1/4 cup water: Helps dissolve the sugars and create the syrup.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Adds warmth and depth to the flavor.
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon: For that classic spiced flavor.
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg: Just a hint of nutmeg goes a long way, adding warmth and complexity.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt: Enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.
• Zest of 1/2 an orange (optional): Adds a subtle brightness that complements the rich sweetness of the dish.
