Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds yellow sweet potatoes, (about 5 to 6)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter, divided

  • ½ cup brown sugar, divided

  4. After the sweet potatoes are cool, peel of skins and slice into 1 inch spears. Lay half of them in the pan.
  5. Cut up 1 ½ tablespoons of butter into small pieces and spread all over the sliced sweet potatoes.
  6. Then drizzle ⅛ cup of karo syrup over all of the sweet potatoes. Then sprinkle ¼ cup of brown sugar over the top.
