Not only is this method quick, but it produces perfectly tender sweet potatoes with a slightly caramelized edge — as if you had roasted them in the oven. Swoon! Plus, this version requires only 1 pan, 2 ingredients, and 8 minutes to prepare (because who has time for roasting some days?). Let’s do this! It starts with slicing the sweet potato slightly less than 1/4 inch thick. The more even the slices, the more evenly they will cook. Then add to a hot greased skillet (we prefer cast iron) and cover with a lid. Covering them allows the potatoes to soften from the steam, which accelerates the cooking process. That’s the beauty of this method: They’re steaming and browning at the same time! Once golden brown on the underside, flip and repeat until they are fork tender and browned on both sides. It’s really that simple. We hope you LOVE these sweet potatoes!
