VEGETABLES/ LOUISE'S SWEET POTATOES
BY: W. T. RICKETTS, SR. (Dad)
When Dad asked Joan if she added Momma's Sweet Potatoes to the cookbook, the answer was unfortunately "no." So here you go Dad...Momma's recipe is now in the online version of the cookbook. If you have leftovers, that's ok. These sweet orange jewels are better the next day after sitting in the syrup. We hope you enjoy!!
Ingredients:
Six (6) medium sweet potatoes
one (1) stick butter (or margarine)
3/4 cup brown sugar
two cups Log Cabin syrup (more or less)
Cook, peel and quarter sweet potatoes.
(Dad now prefers his potatoes cut in 1" slices)

Place potatoes in a buttered casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan,
melt 1/2 stick butter and 3/4 cup
brown sugar. Add one cup of syrup.
When liquid is heated thoroughly,
pour over sweet potatoes.
This is where more or less comes in...
add more syrup, if needed, to just
cover the sweet potatoes.
Dot sweet potatoes with butter pats and
place in oven at 350 degrees for 30 to 40
minutes. Liquid should be bubbly.
This sweet candied side dish always graced
our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table.
Sometimes we enjoyed them at Easter dinner
too!
The sweet potatoes were always too hot to
pass, so whoever sat in front of the sweet
potatoes served them to everyone.
The question of the server was always:
"Want any syrup?"
