A man at my church grows these. It is a brand or type of sweet potato. He gave me some to give to my mom for Thanksgiving. She came to my house for a few days and I cooked them for Thanksgiving. I washed them and put them in a pot of water, bring them to a boil and cooked them until they were fork tender. I took them out and let them cool enough to peel them. I sliced them crosswise and put them in a baking dish. I cooked enough for a 9 inch square pan, enough for 4 people. The syrup recipe is from a local church that has an ingathering, where they sell plates of BBQ Pork or BBQ Chicken or Chicken Salad to make $$ for their church. I always look forward to the ingatherings in my area. One church does a Turkey and Dressing Plate. YUM YUM. Back to the syrup recipe:

Put all in a saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the cooked sweet potatoes and heat in the oven until bubbly.
