Critical Success Points
- • Boil the sweet potatoes for exactly 7 minutes – overcooking will make them mushy before baking.
- • Coat the potatoes thoroughly in the caramel sauce to ensure even flavor.
- • Bake at 350°F for the full 25‑30 minutes until the sauce caramelizes.
Safety Warnings
- • Boiling water can cause severe burns – handle the pot with oven mitts.
- • Melted butter and caramel sauce are extremely hot; stir carefully.
- • Use oven mitts when removing the hot baking dishes.
