Sweet Potatoes

1/2 C. Sugar
1/2 C. brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. nutmeg
1/2 C. butter
6-7 sweet potatoes (peeled and sliced-thick slices)
1 T. vanilla
Brady or rum extract or orange zest whatever....

In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat: add sweet potatoes, and stir to coat. Sprinkle sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes, and stir. Add extract and or zest if you want. Cover skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. or until the sauce is dark and the potatoes are candied. They should be tender, but a little hard around the edges.

Sir in vanilla.

Pour into 9x13 pan and cover with marshmallows and put in oven at 350 degrees until lightly brown. Or if you watch really closely you can put it under the broiler. It will burn really fast!
