GLAZED SWEET POTATOES
Fannie Merritt Farmer Boston Cooking-School Cookbook (1896 edition)
Wash and pare six medium-sized potatoes.
Cook ten minutes in boiling salted water.
Drain, cut in halves lengthwise, and put in a buttered pan.
Make a syrup by boiling three minutes, one-half cup sugar and four tablespoons water; add one tablespoon butter.
Brush potatoes with syrup and bake fifteen minutes, basting twice with remaining syrup.
