Gina, I made this exact recipe last Thanksgiving. The only thing is I used King syrup. My grandmother and mom used that growing up. I have adapted to short cuts in using candy potatoes verse fresh. I still do fresh but this recipe is so delicious. Thank you so much Gina!!
Thank you so much I made the best yams ever I’m 54 single and learning how to cook for myself I followed your directions and it’s grrrrreeeet Thank you 100000000 thank you
I realize that a lot of people don't use canned sweet potatoes in their recipe. I don't neither... However, it's ok to learn a new recipe... Gina knows how to cook southern candied yams...... Come on.... Gina is a GREAT COOK. If you don't like that she uses canned potatoes in this recipe...its ok, but don't throw shade just because you disapprove.... Just move on. Let's be respectful, it's ok to do things different. If we all did everything the same.... This world would be boring ! Thanks so much for the awesome recipe Gina .... I'm gonna try it, and then sneak it in on my mom!!! I'll let you know the verdict !!! God Bless !
Exactly‼️ & especially for those who are just learning (like me) lol. I think she does an awesome job, I'm making it now for Thanksgiving. Can't wait to taste & see how it comes out 🥰
I love Candy Yams so much Ms. Gina. I will eat that whole pan in one sitting!!!! You done teased me very badly with this one here. I can't wait to make this😍. Every season is Candy Yam season LOLL. I love love love love Sweet Yamssssss❤❤❤❤. Thanks for sharing
Thanksgiving is coming up and this is the only thing I didn’t pay attention to when my grandma was making it, now I’m on UA-cam searching for videos on how to 😂😂😂 I loved this video, mouth watering the whole time 😂
Oooowee! Love sweet potatoes or yams...either way they are yummy! I have never heard of anyone ever making them with syrup or honey but I know they are good no matter how you fix them.
I just adore you, Gina, thank you so much for all your great recipes and your lovely voice and most of all-- your beautiful personality. I am making this recipe right now to cook tomorrow for Thanksgiving!!!
I already subbed a long time ago when you was helping me cook something else but this popped up while i'm searching for recipes. Thank you mama. Happy Thanksgiving.
Yay !! gina i made my candied sweet potatoes like you said and they came out wonderful!! I love it😊 thank gina and happy thanksgiving. Many blessings to your family😊🙏❤
Gina,you have the same recipe that my Mom taught me. The only differences is, mix the ingredients in a bowl and pour it over sweet potatoes and butter.
MA’AM!!! AUNTIE!!! Cause yes, you’re Auntie now! You have no idea the amount of GRATITUDE I have for you! I was in charge of the sweet potatoes this year for Thanksgiving, have never made them before in my life!!! I used your recipe and they were gone by the end of dinner!! My family LOVED THEM! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You were and truly are like my FairyGod Auntie!!
Mmmmmmm that’s what I’m talking about looks very tasty and delicious love me some yams 🍠 especially with some neck bones yum yum yum 🌹💋💖 I will have to make that for my Family 😋😋😋😋
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow Gina; This is Tim Williams and I'm glad that you had this sweet potato recipe on your channel because I've been looking for something to cook for mothers day. Eventhough my mother is not with me, but I have sisters who are mothers. Thank you Gina for this recipe and I'd like to say "Happy Mothers Day to you and it's my prayer that your day be blessed and joyous on this blessed occasion. May God bless you and your family and may you all have a great and wonderful blessed day! 🙏🏾
Thank you Gina, Im making your dressing, candied yams and your string bean casserole. To God be the Glory. Oh and your peach cobbler too girl. I made that earlier this year and it was just like Grandmomma used to make OOOOHWEEE!. Happy Thanksgiving to your and your family.
I followed this recipe on Thanksgiving 2021 instead i used Honey and OMG!!! Lord Jesus 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾TALK ABOUT GOOD!!! Thanks for sharing i so Appreciate this ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
I like fresh yams for the holidays but a regular weekday I’m definitely cooking them like this..love your channel and your my favorite on UA-cam...please don’t stop
Hmmm Goood, I Lovvve sweet🍠 potatoes🍠 of any way it's been made whether it's a casserole🍠 or a pie🍠 I love it & this will be apart of my Thanksgiving Dinner😝TFS, Love & Blessings🍃💜🍃💜🍃
Okay Mrs. Gina. I'mma need your address so I can head on over! When you said crank the heat and let it get crispy that's the word I was thinking. But, well say candied or caramelized ewww week! Those look delicious. On a serious note...... The Manley family is ready to head your way and throw down on some good home cooking. Don't play with My Heart telling me to come to Mrs. Gina's if I can't roll up. Haha. I can say a mean blessing over that food and then we will eat it and smack somebody 😜 As always, God Bless. - Shawn
The Manley Family come on ova lol God bless you thanks for watching Enjoy the rest of the channel for more great recipes I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe ❤️❤️😊 I’ll leave the light on 😄
@@InTheKitchenWithGinaYoung I'mma hold you to that. The Lord has done sent provisions amen, and I'm gonna receive em! Enjoying the channel. Like you said yourself God has given you this gift to share with others and we are blessed by it. Thank you for your obedience. I need to go grocery shopping so I can start making some of these recipes! Blessings. - Shawn
Ms. Gina- those candied sweet potatoes look delectable. However- I would use real cooked sweet potatoes, nutmeg, cinnamon. I never used syrup, but I am going to try this.
I enjoyed seeing your son on the show tasting your pot roast with tangy Italian dressing. He’s a natural at this. I know you and your husband are proud of him. Nice young man. I’m making that recipe for Sunday after church. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Mrs. Gina! I made this today and if I tell you I could've eaten the whole pan because they were so good! Absolutely they were lol. I look forward to many more of your videos! ❤
I was making a quick inexpensive thanksgiving dinner this year, this was the video I was looking for … thank you been watching you for yearsssss😘 HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍁🦃🍽
OMGAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!, OOOOOOH GRL, "MAKE U WANT TO SLAP SOMEBODY"...YUMMMMMY. AND THE WAY U WERE TORCHING US AT THE END. I START TO RESEARCH UR ADDRESS AND COME FOR YA....LOL....ALL THAT GOODNESS, SURE DO BRING BACK MEMORIES, WHEN EVERYONE WAS STILL ALIVE. I THOUGHT IT WASNT GOING TO LOOK & TASTE AS GOOD AS IT DID, SINCE U USED CANNED YAMS, INSTEAD OF THE UNCOOKED ONES.

YOU GO GRL/FRIEND....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.....SMH....Mmmmmm...xoxo....way back in the day when i was a kid , we/my mother called them Candied yam. I see today alot of people call them candied sweet potatoes......
I thought you was going to use fresh sweet potatoes. Oh I cut short cuts like that sometimes. Try fried real uncooked sweet potatoes, slice the sweet potatoes in a frying pan that has melted butter in it and put sugar on the taters and fry till brown and crispy. Have a fantastic weekend God bless you and your family ✌🍂🦃
black snow you made the real candied sweet potatoes. Yours is the one my mom made. I get trying but never could get it right. Will try your recipe. Thanks
