How to Make Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and stir until coated evenly. Add water and orange juice; cover, and cook 15 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender.
Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Step 3

Sprinkle sugars and cinnamon over potatoes and toss until coated. Continue cooking until sugar caramelizes and potatoes have a brown glaze, 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with dried cranberries and orange zest, and serve immediately.
