Step 3: Simmer the Sweet Potatoes

- Coat the sweet potatoes: Add the sliced sweet potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they’re well coated with the syrup. The sweet potatoes should start to soak up all that delicious flavor.
- Simmer gently: Let the sweet potatoes simmer in the syrup for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step helps to infuse the potatoes with flavor and start the cooking process.
Step 4: Bake the Yams
- Transfer to a baking dish: Carefully move the candied yams and all the syrup into a baking dish. Spread them out into an even layer to ensure they cook evenly.
- Cover and bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in your preheated oven for 30 minutes. This initial baking time softens the sweet potatoes.
- Uncover and continue baking: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes. This allows the syrup to thicken and the sweet potatoes to become tender and caramelized. The syrup should reduce to a rich, sticky glaze that clings to the potatoes.
Step 5: Serve and Savor
- Let it cool slightly: Allow the candied yams to stand for a few minutes after baking. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools, becoming even more luscious.
- Serve and enjoy: Dish out the yams as a sweet and savory side that’s sure to be the highlight of any meal.
