Report
Baked candied yams are one of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. The succulent potato texture mixed with the sweet brown sugar spiced sauce, baked to candy perfection, is incredible.

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Peel and cut 5-6 medium red garnet yams or sweet potatoes, into 1/2-inch thick slices or 2-inch bite-size pieces.
- Add ½ cup butter, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 cup dark brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and ⅛ teaspoon cloves to a large pot.
