Instructions: Melt butter and bacon drippings in skillet. Add water and sweet potatoes.

Sprinkle sugar over all.

Cook, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender and the sauce thickens. This takes about 30 minutes.

Note: For a special touch, transfer to a casserole/serving dish. Top with marshmallows, and put under the broiler until the marshmallows melt and brown slightly.

This is my husbands favorite way of fixing sweet potatoes. Now that the kid is away at college, I cut this in half for the two of us, and theres still a little left over for my lunch next day.
