How to Make Candied Sweet Potatoes on Blackstone Griddle:

• Prepare Blackstone – Preheat the Blackstone Grill over high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).

• Oil the Grill – Drizzle the avocado oil on the grill.
• Add Sweet Potatoes – Place the diced sweet potatoes on the oil on the grill. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
• Cook Sweet Potatoes – Sauté the sweet potatoes for 12-15 minutes covered and toss approximately every 2-3 minutes.

• Top with butter and Brown Sugar – Once the potatoes are fork tender, top the potatoes with the ½ cup sugar and butter.

• Melt Butter – Toss the potatoes with the butter and brown sugar mixture until the butter is melted and the mixture is covering the potatoes (2-3 minutes).

• Serve and Enjoy – Remove the potatoes from the grill, serve immediately while warm and enjoy.

Candied Sweet Potato Tips:

• Dicing Potatoes –When I am dicing up the sweet potatoes to cook, we try to make them about the same size. This way they cook evenly and about the same time. You can dice the sweet potatoes or slice them.
• Let Potatoes Cook –When you cook potatoes on the griddle, make sure you let them cook without moving around. This creates a crispy texture.
• Fork Tender Potatoes –Make sure you potatoes are fork tender before removing them from the griddle. I also like them to have a crispy golden brown texture before removing them.
• Hot Griddle –To prevent potatoes from sticking, make sure griddle has reached a medium high heat and oiled before placing potatoes on the griddle.
• Brown Sugar Sauce – Make sure the diced sweet potatoes are covered in the brown sugar sugar before removing from the griddle.

Variations for Candied Sweet Potatoes:

• Marshmallows – Top this classic side dish with mini marshmallows.
