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 candied sweet potatoes recipe 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.

Can Candied Sweet Potatoes Be Made Ahead of Time?

Candied sweet potatoes have a soft, delicate texture that can fall apart if reheated and stirred. It’s best to serve them immediately after cooking.

When Should I Peel Sweet Potatoes?

Because this candied sweet potatoes recipe uses sliced sweet potatoes, it’s best to keep them in their jackets for cooking. The skins protect the delicate flesh from breaking, so that when the skins are removed (and boy, do they come off easily when cooked like this), the sweet potato flesh will still be beautifully intact. For other recipes that use smaller pieces of sweet potatoes, it’s better in those cases to peel them first with a potato peeler or carefully with a paring knife before cooking them.

Can I Substitute Yams for Sweet Potatoes?

Sweet potatoes are frequently mislabeled in grocery stores as yams. True sweet potatoes have dark orange skin and dark orange flesh that’s both sweet and flavorful. True yams have light-colored skin and light flesh. The flavor is much milder than in sweet potatoes. For the best color and flavor of this easy candied sweet potatoes dish, get the dark-orange skinned sweet potatoes—also known as red garnet sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 medium red garnet sweet potatoes (2 lb)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1

    Wondering if you can sub in a yam? Well, contrary to popular belief, yams aren’t grown in the U.S., so they actually can be hard to find. What you will find in the grocery stores are different varieties of sweet potatoes. The deep orange or nearly red-fleshed varieties are very moist and sweet—perfect for this candied sweet potatoes recipe.
  • tip 2

    Boiling the potatoes in their jackets makes removing them a cinch—no veggie peeler required.
  • tip 3

    Add a sweet flavor twist by substituting orange juice, spiced or regular apple cider or cranberry juice for the 3 tablespoons water.
  • tip 4

    Give your sweet potatoes a taste of the tropics! Omit the 3 tablespoons of water and add an 8-ounce can of crushed pineapple (undrained) to the sauce ingredients instead.
  • tip 5

    Cooking sweet potatoes in their jackets makes the skins slide right off—no veggie peeler needed! Cooking them in their skins also protects the soft insides so they can retain their shape better when sliced.

Classic Candied Sweet Potatoes (2024)

FAQs

What's the difference between candied yams and sweet potatoes? ›

Yams and sweet potatoes differ in flavor and appearance, and they are not related. Sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family, while yams belong to the lily family. Yams aren't as sweet as sweet potatoes, and they are starchier and drier. Their texture and flavor are more similar to potatoes or yuca.

Why are my candied sweet potatoes watery? ›

Some candy yams turn out runny if they are baked covered. In this case, the excess moisture doesn't evaporate. It stays in the pan resulting in a runny sauce instead of a thick, sticky one. This could be easily fixed by simmering the sugary sauce for a longer time or adding slurry to thicken it quicker.

Why do you soak sweet potatoes before baking? ›

The theory is that soaking draws out starch from inside the potatoes, helping them crisp up. I've tested soaking sweet potato fries many times, and I've found that it doesn't make them much crispier, if at all.

Why do sweet potatoes not go crispy? ›

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet!

This is an important one! If the baking sheet it too crowded, the sweet potatoes will not crisp.

Which is healthier, yam or sweet potato? ›
