Skillet Sweet Potatoes

Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, keeping them uniform for even cooking.

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and foamy.

Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer in the skillet, overlapping slightly if necessary.

Whisk together the orange juice and brown sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves, then pour the mixture over the potatoes.

Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the potatoes if using, then bring the liquid to a simmer.

Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for 18-20 minutes, gently stirring or turning the potato slices halfway through, until they are tender and the liquid has reduced to a light glaze.

Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the potatoes before serving warm.
