These sweet potatoes are cooked in a sugar syrup with cinnamon and prunes and as they soften, they get coated in this lovely caramelised glaze. Arrange these potato rounds on a platter face side up, so you can admire the beautiful orange and gold flesh.
This is a Mexican inspired recipe- it’s popular in mexican cuisine to finish off a meal with a sweet fruit or something like this dish, but here i wanted to add a little middle eastern flair, with the dried prunes and golden raisins. I love this dish eaten next to rice and chicken, but you can make it anytime when you want something sweet too!
