Theyre so easy, yet hit all the right notes.
Ive been obsessing about how easy Anthony Bourdains Candied Sweet Potatoes are.
Its one of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes and an easy and inventive way to preparesweet potatoes.

I like to start by placing the sweet potatoes in a medium pot and submerging them in cold water.
After the potatoes have cooled, I peel the skins off and dice each one into one-inch cubed pieces.
Then, I toss the potatoes onto a baking sheet greased with a tablespoon of unsalted butter.

The mixture is whisked until combined and then cooked for an additional minute.
I like to drizzle the butter mixture over each and every sweet potato piece evenly.
You know it’s done when the taters are tender and the smell is too sweet to ignore.

The liquid should appear syrupy and the aroma undeniable.
I would argue that the sweet potato flavor stands out the most, followed closely by apple cider.
Serve that along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and now were feeling the holiday spirit.
