Sweet Potatoes!

[Randi]

So how do you make sweet potatoes over there?

I get some very small potatoes, often in a glass, already peeled. I put very little butter on a pan and lots of sugar. When that is melted, I pour the drained potatoes on and let them suck up the now brown sugar/caramel?

What people usually do wrong, is to put too much butter on - then the sugar won't stick.

What we call "sweet potatoes" over here are called yams in much of the world. They are a different kind of potato, not regular white potatoes made sweet. And funny enough, I am allergic to yams/sweet potatoes, but not regular potatoes, that's how different they are!
