The servings will depend on the size of the sweet potato; one large sweet potato is enough for about 4 people.
Weigh the sweet potato and match its weight with sugar.
Boil the sweet potato with the skin just like a potato.
Once cooked, peel and cut it into small cubes.
Using a pot that can hold all the chopped sweet potato, make a syrup with the sugar (put the sugar and cover it with water); once it starts to boil and before it reaches a thread-like syrup, add the chopped sweet potato.
Let it cook in this syrup until the sweet potato is somewhat mushy; you can add a clove to the syrup while cooking to give it a different flavor.
Let it cool and serve as a dessert.
