Louisiana Candied Yams
6 med. yams
1 stick butter or margarine
1/4 c. water
5 c. sugar
Peel and slice yams about a
quarter inch thick. Rinse and pat dry. Place yams in a large skillet,
add water, butter or margarine and pour sugar over all. Cover tightly
with well fitting lid. Simmer over medium heat for 30-35 minutes. Spoon
syrup over potatoes once. Do not stir, because it will break your
potatoes up.
