Skillet Sweet Potatoes Recipe

4 servings | serving size: ¼ of recipe

When preparing this recipe, start with clean countertops and utensils. Wash hands with soap and water. Wash whole, fresh sweet potatoes by scrubbing with a clean vegetable brush under cold, running water.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound sweet potatoes (sliced ½ inch thick)
• ½ cup orange juice
• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar (or molasses)
• 1 Tablespoon canola oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

1. Place sweet potatoes in a medium skillet; cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and cook for 10 minutes until soft. Drain and place back in the skillet.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice, brown sugar, and oil. Add cinnamon (optional).
3. Pour the sauce over the cooked potatoes. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly. Uncover and gently boil for about 5 minutes until the potatoes are glazed, spooning sauce over potatoes.
