Sweet Potatoes- the way I serve them

This is my favorite way of serving sweet potatoes, in fact, I didn't know that you didn't have to serve them 'sweet' until I ran into an elderly gentleman in the grocery store once who told me that he salted and buttered his.

I cut up about 3 medium sized potatoes here.
I place a small amount of water in the bottom, 1/2 cup or so, cover and turn the heat up and basically 'steam' them for several minutes.

When they start to soften, I add 2 T light butter.
About 1/4 cup molasses.
About 1/2 to 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar.
This makes a syrup and if I can keep the amount of water to a minimum, its a nice, thick syrup.

Cook until they are soft and some are starting to fall apart.
