1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes and slicing them into ½-inch thick rounds. Set aside the slices.
Make the Syrup:
In a large, heavy skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger (if using), and salt. Stir well until all the sugars dissolve, and a smooth syrup forms.
Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
Gently add the sweet potato slices to the skillet, arranging them evenly if possible. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to coat the sweet potatoes in the syrup and ensure even cooking.
