Southern Candied Sweet Potatoes

6 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup butter

2 cups brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of Salt

1 Tbsp vanilla

Melt the butter in large, heavy iron skillet and stir in the potato slices.  Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon and salt over the potatoes and stir well.  Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender and "candied", stirring occasionally.  Stir in the vanilla just before serving.

Delicious!  Adapted from allrecipes.com
