Personal Notes:
This method is great for family size cooking, but for
a larger group and limited time, I have steamed the
sliced and quartered sweet potatoes first until partially cooked and then stirred the sugar mixture into them. Once coated, the sweet potatoes can be
put into a covered baking dish and baked at 350 degrees until fully cooked and candied.
Then stir in the vanilla.
