Orange-glazed sweet potatoes

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 pounds Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch
Chunks (about 8 cups)
1 small Bright-skinned orange
cup Butter or margarine
1 tablespoon Light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Place the potatoes in a 5-quart saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes until almost tender. Meanwhile, use a small sharp knife to remove the peel only, no white pith, from the orange. Cut the peel into thin strips to make about ¼ cup; set aside. Melt the butter in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the potatoes well and add to the butter in the skillet; cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the potatoes are lightly browned. Stir in the orange peel, brown sugar, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for about 1 minute longer until the sugar is dissolved and the potatoes are well glazed. Serve spooned into a serving dish.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
