Slavka Festive Sweet Potatoes

Servings: 4–6

Ingredients:

• 1 large red onion
• 1/3 cup Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
• 3 to 4 pounds sweet potatoes or yams
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

You will need a 2 to 3 quart skillet or pan with cover.

Directions:

Cook onion pieces (peeled, quartered, and thinly sliced) in Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil on medium heat for one to two minutes or just until they are limp.

Stir sweet potatoes (pealed and sliced 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick) in with the onion.

Add water, maple syrup, and nuts.

Stir and reduce heat to medium-low.

Cover tightly and simmer on medium-low until potatoes are soft (about 30 minutes). You may use low heat, depending on your stove and the type of pan you use. (This recipe was made using an electric stove).

Mix and serve hot with a few chopped nuts sprinkled on top.

Note: You may need to add 1 tablespoon of water during cooking to prevent sticking, depending on the type of pan you use. A thick bottom or cast-iron pan works the best.
