Potatoes coated with sugar are commonly known as candied potatoes or sweet glazed potatoes. The potatoes are fried or baked until tender and then coated with a sugar and butter sauce. The sugar coating caramelizes on the outside of the potato, creating a sweet and crunchy glaze. Candied potatoes are often served as a side dish for Thanksgiving and other holiday meals.
