Candied sweet potato balls

Directions

1. Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water and allow them to cool when cooked.

2. Scoop the cooked potatoes into balls, and arrange in one layer in a greased shallow baking dish.

3. Make a syrup with the sugar and water. Pour the syrup over the potatoes.

4. Bake uncovered in a moderate oven until most of the syrup has been absorbed by the potatoes (about 30 minutes). Baste often during cooking.

5. Serve hot.

Note: Sweet potatoes may also be left sliced.
