9 good sized sweet potatoes
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. sugar
3 sticks butter

Cut potatoes into about 6 slices each. Mix everything into a shallow baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 2 hours. Do not stir potatoes after they begin to get soft. Baste with butter every so often. They are finished when soft all the way through.
