GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Put two rounding tablespoons of butter and one
of sugar into a casserole and set on the back of the range to heat
slowly. When hot lay in raw, pared sweet potatoes cut in halves,
lengthwise. Dust with salt and pepper and put in another layer of
seasoned potatoes and enough boiling water to stand one-half inch deep
in the dish. Put on the close-fitting cover and set in the oven to cook
slowly. When the potatoes are tender serve in the same dish with the
sweet sauce that will not be entirely absorbed in the cooking. This way
of preparing sweet potatoes pleases the Southern taste, which demands
sugar added to the naturally sweet vegetable.
