Candied Sweet Potatoes make an easy and delicious side dish! Sweet potatoes are cooked until tender and caramelized around the edges in a sweet buttery glaze.
Candied sweet potatoes make a classic Southern side dish. Made with five simple ingredients, my Grandmother’s recipe for candied sweet potatoes couldn’t be easier. Along with sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, and hashbrown casserole, they are always a favorite Thanksgiving side dish. But they are also great throughout the year at Christmas, Easter, and for a cozy Sunday night meal.
I originally shared this recipe in 2011 with a wonderful story of how I received this recipe from my Grandmother Verdie. That story is still included (how could I not!?), but is below the recipe if you’d like to read it. The recipe post has been updated to include step-by-step photographs along with additional cooking methods that you may find useful. I hope your family loves these candied sweet potatoes as much as my family does. It is a treasure!
