Candied Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• Hella Sweet Potatoes (because people will destroy this dish)
• Brown sugar
• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin spice

Preparation

Shave and slice potatoes to desired thickness. Place potatoes slices in pot and add just enough water so the top layer of slices aren't completely submerged. Place pot with lid on stove top above medium fire until potatoes are soft, for 10-15 minutes. DO NOT STIR. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice to taste. The amount of brown sugar used determines how sweet the dish is. After potatoes are soft and water level in the pot is half as low than before, add sugar and spice mixture, cut fire to low, then cover pot with lid and let sit until the sugar has completely dissolved. Allow to cool before serving.
