Although I do not particularly like sweet potatoes unless they are fries, I couldn't include recipes from Ollie J without a classic sweet potato recipe -- since one of the many crops that would rotate through the family farm was the sweet potato. If I find a recipe for soy beans and cotton (or even tobacco), I'll include those too.
Candied Sweet Potatoes
6 medium sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons water
Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water 15 minutes. Cool, peel, halve lengthwise. Place remaining ingredients in frying pan. Arrange potatoes on top, cut side down. Cook slowly, uncover, and basting frequently, about 1 hour or until potatoes are tender and well glazed.
