Classic Candied Sweet Potatoes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place whole sweet potatoes in a steamer over a couple of inches of boiling water and cover. Cook until tender about 30 minutes. Drain and cool.

Peel and slice sweet potatoes lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a small saucepan over medium heat melt butter brown sugar water and salt. When the sauce is bubbly and sugar is dissolved pour over potatoes.

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour occasionally basting the sweet potatoes with the brown sugar sauce.
