Ingredients
- 5 6 inch long yams
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg or freshly grated
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place potatoes on top. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until soft.
- Cool the potatoes on a separate plate for about 10 minutes or until you can safely handle them. Peel and slice into ½ inch medallions.
- In a large, cast iron pan over medium heat, add the butter, sugar and spices stirring constantly until fully melted and combined, at least 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked potato medallions and carefully stir with a spatula until well coated in the sugar mixture, roughly 3 minutes. Turn off the heat but leave on the burner if you want it to continue to caramelize.
