For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have fresh orange slices, you can use a few drops of orange extract. Be careful not to overcook the potatoes in the first step, or they will become mushy. The glazing step requires attention; make sure to baste frequently to achieve a beautiful, glossy finish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Potatoes: Peel and halve the sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine Glaze Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the orange zest, orange juice, light corn syrup, and brown sugar until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
StepSimmer the Potatoes: In a large saucepan, arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Add the boiling water and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. (17 minutes)
04
StepGlaze the Potatoes: Drain off most of the liquid, leaving only about 1/4 cup in the saucepan. Dot the potatoes with butter. Pour the orange juice mixture over the potatoes and add the orange slices. (3 minutes)
05
StepCook Until Glazed: Cook, uncovered, over low heat until the potatoes are beautifully glazed and the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes. Baste the potatoes frequently with the glaze, and turn them once during cooking to ensure even coating. (15 minutes)
