This is a classic southern recipe that is typically enjoyed on holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I love this dish any time of the year. This particular dish is my family recipe that we have been preparing and enjoying for decades. Whether you are looking for something to bring to a holiday party, or just really love sweet potatoes, this is the recipe for you!

•5 medium sweet potatoes

•1 stick salted butter

•1.5 cups granulated sugar
