I’m back with Part 2 of yesterday’s Sunday Dinner.  This candied yams recipe is EVERYTHING and so incredibly easy to make.  If you’re looking for something healthy, exit this post lol!

Ingredients
7-8 small to medium sweet potatoes or 4 large sweet potatoes sliced (or cut however you prefer)
1 stick of butter
1 cup of  brown sugar
1/4 cup of white sugar
Nutmeg (to taste)
Cinnamon (to taste)
2 teaspoons of Vanilla extract 
2 teaspoons of Cake Batter extract (optional)
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
Directions
1.  On medium heat, melt the butter in a medium sized pot.
2. Add your sliced sweet potatoes and stir well to coat.
3.  Add the sugar and mix well.
4.  Add nutmeg, cinnamon, and extracts and mix well.
5.  Cover and allow the sweet potatoes to come to a slow simmer.  You should also see a syrup start to form.

7. Cover the potatoes and simmer on low heat until tender.
Note: Stir frequently to make sure they do not stick. 
Remove from heat and enjoy!
