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.
