Yes, Maam, these are dandy taters! Haven't fried sweet ones before, but now I know you can. This dish is so easy to fix and the end result is outstanding! Served them with Karen Monahan's Parmesan Chicken and my, my, we had a lovely dinner! Thanks for posting another winner, Inez. Laudee C. -
These were excellent! I love sweet potatoes and needed a new way to prepare them. I added vanilla (about 2 tbs) during the simmering stage. What a nice added flavor. The thing I liked most was the carmalized type coating on the potatoes. Definately satisfied my sweet tooth. Also, I would highly recomend cutting the potatoes into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes. I diced mine pretty thin and I personally think they would have been better if they were thicker chunks. Enjoy, this was a GREAT cooking variation to the ordinary sweet potato. Don't forget to add vanilla too. -
I have tried this recipe twice and both times had great success with it. I do make one small adjustment though. Instead of the 2T. sugar, I use 2T Splenda. This should cut the calories considerably and makes it better for those with Type II Diabetes.

Yes, this recipe was quite good and easy to make. The thing I like most about this recipe is how nice the house smells when I cook this dish. It was also quite delicious ! -
So good! I cut the potatoes into 1 inch cubes and the coating was perfect on them.

Yummy! I used light olive oil in place of 2 T. of the butter. Also just used 2 T. brown sugar in all (and no white sugar.) They were plenty sweet enough, and even scorched a little bit on the bottom which only made them even more delicious. Great!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
