INGREDIENTS

8 medium sweet potatoes, about 3 pounds
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons brandy, orange juice, or a mixture of both

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook potatoes until tender. Drain and cool. Peel and cut in half lengthwise.

Place in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold in a single layer. Melt butter and combine with remaining ingredients, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour over potatoes.

Bake, turning once and basting with sauce, until hot, about 20 minutes.

NOTE - Potatoes and butter mixture can be placed in a large skillet and heated on top of stove instead of in oven.
