These potatoes have a caramel glaze that is fantastic! Par-boil the yams the day before to save time on that busy day. I use an electric skillet to finish cooking them in the glaze. This recipe has been in my family forever , but the measurements were never written down. Sorry I don't have a photo because they are beautiful! The prep time is for par-boiling.
Ingredients:
4 yams (par-boiled and peel)
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup white karo
Directions:
1. Cut the yams into quarters. Place margarine, brown sugar and syrup in skillet and melt, stirring to combine ingredients and dissolve brown sugar. Place yams in mixture and turn temperature of skillet to the point of just simmering. Carefully turn the yams occassionaly to coat all sides. Do not overcook or they will start to fall apart. Place on serving dish and enjoy.
