Brown Sugar-Glazed Sweet Potatoes

i'm sharing this recipe because it was a hit at thanksgiving, even with those who are not sweet potato fans!

Brown Sugar-Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into chunks (not sure how many but 10+ seems about right)
1 1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
¾ cup butter
1 T ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp. ground ginger


Preheat oven to 375F. Arrange potatoes in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Combine sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour over potatoes; toss to coat. Cover dish tightly with foil.

Bake potatoes 50 minutes. Uncover; bake until potatoes are tender and syrup thickens slightly, basting occasionally, about 20 minutes.
