Sweet Potatoes, Southern Fashion. Mrs. W. E. Thomas
Boil your potatoes until soft; slice them, and lay in a buttered pudding dish. Sprinkle each layer with light brown sugar; and dot thickly with bits of butter. Over all pour enough water to cover well the bottom of your dish. Set in oven and bake half an hour or more, thoroughly browning the top, and cooking the sugar, butter and water into a rich syrup. Some add, also, a dash of flour between the layers. Serve hot with your meat and other vegetables.
