Ingredients:


4 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and into 1-inch chunks (about 8 cups)

1 small bright-skinned orange

1/3 cup butter or margarine

1 tablespoon light brown sugar -- firmly

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon tsp freshly ground black pepper
 

Preparation / Directions:


Place the potatoes in a 5-quart saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes until almost tender. Meanwhile, use a small sharp knife to remove the peel only, no white pith, from the orange. Cut the peel into thin strips to make about 1/4 cup; set aside. Melt the butter in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the potatoes well and add to the butter in the skillet; cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the potatoes are lightly browned. Stir in the orange peel, brown sugar, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for about 1 minute longer until the sugar is dissolved and the potatoes are well glazed. Serve spooned into a serving dish. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
