Ingredients:

  • 4 sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean & unpeeled
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 4 T. butter
  • 1 c. water
  • 2 T. cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon zest*
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice*

Instructions:

  1. Place sweet potatoes in a pot and add water to just cover potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and boil gently until potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Peel while potatoes are still warm. Slice into 1/4″ to 1/2″-thick circles and place in a baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add butter, water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil. Pour brown sugar mixture over potatoes, having enough liquid to just cover potatoes.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees until liquid is bubbly and has thickened somewhat, 40 to 45 minutes.
