3 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons cooking oil or substitute beef tallow
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup brown sugar loosely packed
3-4 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
Instructions
Preheat griddle on low. While griddle is heating up, peel and cut sweet potatoes into cubes about 3/4″ in size.
Add about 2 tablespoons of your favorite cooking oil or beef tallow to the warm griddle surface. Add the cut sweet potatoes to the oil and gently toss to combine. Allow the sweet potatoes to cook in the oil for about 3-4 minutes.
Add about 2-3 tablespoons of water on or near the sweet potatoes to create steam. Place a metal melting dome over the sweet potatoes and allow them to steam for about 4-5 minutes, or until about 80-90% done. About every minute while the sweet potatoes are steaming, carefully remove the dome to stir the potatoes.
When sweet potatoes are almost done, remove the dome and allow them to cook uncovered until tender and done to your liking.
Add butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and syrup to the potatoes. Gently toss to combine all ingredients, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add fresh rosemary to the candied sweet potatoes and stir to combine. When sauce is reduced (should take about 2 minutes) transfer candied sweet potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm.
