Whether served alongside your favorite protein or enjoyed as a standout side dish, these Maple Glazed Sweet Fondant Potatoes are bound to impress your guests and leave a lasting impression. 

Ingredients:

• 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thick, round slices
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Ensure the butter spreads evenly across the pan.
2. Add the sweet potato slices to the skillet, making sure they have enough space to cook without overcrowding the pan. Sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Cook the sweet potato slices for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a beautiful golden-brown color and are slightly tender. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and ground cinnamon until well combined.
5. Carefully pour the maple syrup mixture over the sweet potato slices in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and coat the potatoes.
6. Occasionally spoon the glaze over the sweet potatoes to ensure they are fully coated and infused with the flavors.
7. Once the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the glaze is thick and sticky, remove the skillet from heat.
8. Serve the Maple Glazed Sweet Fondant Potatoes hot, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme, if desired, for a touch of visual appeal and added aroma.
