For the past two years (2002 & 2003) I've made these at Thanksgiving. Each year I panicked about ingredients and how to do it. Each year Melinda told me the secret again, "It's really easy."

From her email:
<poem>
Steam or parboil sweet potatoes so fork goes in a little
Butter into a skillet.. Let it sizzle
Add brown sugar 'til it's creamy
Sometimes, you can add a tiny bit of water to loosen up the mixture
These have been a great hit
</poem>

Yes, it pretty much is that easy. Here's exactly how I cooked them:

* Start 2-3 quarts of water on to boil.
* Chop about 4lbs of sweet potatoes into 2-3 inch cubes. Yes, those are large chunks. I left the skins on. Others have had the dish skinned and said it was good too. When we were talking about it a few days later, my family couldn't remember if I had left the skins on or not... apparently it doesn't matter too too much either way.
* Boil the potatoes about 20 minutes, 'til the fork can go through.
* Put 2 tbsp butter and 1 cup of brown sugar in a skillet. Swish that around a bit. Add the potatoes. Cover. The potatoes will lose some water and make everything sweet-yummy-goopy.
* Cook for 20 minutes until sweet-yummy-goopy mess is fully sweet-yummy and goopy. Use a serving spoon to pull soft sweet potato pieces and goop out of skillet and into serving bowl.
* Share and enjoy!

They come out sweet and flavorful with next to no effort at all.

Thanks Melinda!
