This recipe is new this year, thanks to Jessie, my workmate's mother-in-law. As with most italian cooks, there are no measurements, just the process. But I promise you that if it's one of Jessie's tried-and trued recipes, then you're going to love it!
Boil the sweet potatoes (enough to feed your family) until partially tender (they will cook more later in the oven). Set aside to cool.
Peel the cooled potatoes and cut into 2 - 3" chunks (about 2 -3 chunks per potato, depending on size). Spray baking pan and place sweet potato chunks into pan. Pour maple syrup into pan until it covers the sweet pototoes about half-way up. Cover all the potatoes with dark brown sugar (use most if not all of the whole bag of brown sugar). Put a tab of butter over each sweet potato (on top of the brown sugar).
Cover pan with foil. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes, then remove foil and continue to cook for approximately another 15 minutes. Do not overcook - potatoes should not get mushy but according to Jessie if they do, they're still delicious!
