Classic Candied Sweet Potatoes

Old-fashioned candied sweet potatoes are a true comfort-food classic—and a fall favorite for many families. Most of us tend to think of them as traditional holiday fare only, but they make a great weeknight side, too! This recipe for candied sweet potatoes is particularly weeknight-easy: It comes together with just a few pantry staples, 15 minutes of prep and about a half hour on the stovetop. (Yup, the stove, so if you do make it for Thanksgiving, you won’t need the oven.) The cool thing about boiling your sweet potatoes? You don’t even need to peel them—the skins will slip right off as the sweet potatoes cool. Put that potato peeler back in the drawer!
