CANDIED SWEET POTATOES - EASY! 
4 sweet potatoes (of similar size)
brown sugar
cinnamon
butter
pancake syrup

Amounts vary with number of potatoes and desired sweetness. Sweet potatoes baked in a conventional oven usually have a sweeter taste which would require less brown sugar and syrup.

Wash sweet potatoes and poke fork holes on 2 sides of each potato. Then cook in microwave until done (approx. 12 minutes, flipping potatoes after 5 minutes). Peel and slice when cool enough to handle. Place in microwave safe dish.

Sprinkle top of sweet potatoes with cinnamon.

Crumble brown sugar over top (approx. 1/2 cup depending on amount of sweet potatoes).

Dot with butter (approx. 2 tablespoons).

Squirt pancake syrup over sweet potatoes (approx. 1/3 cup).

Cover dish with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 1/2 minutes. Let potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving.
