Camotes Enmielados is a traditional dessert known for its simplicity and delightful taste. The name translates to "candied sweet potatoes". This dish is particularly popular in Mexico and is often served during the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) celebrations, but it can be enjoyed year-round.

The main ingredient is sweet potatoes, which are slowly cooked or simmered in a syrup typically made from piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar) and cinnamon. The process involves cooking the sweet potatoes until they become tender and absorb the flavors of the syrup, resulting in a sweet, sticky, and flavorful treat.

Camotes Enmielados can be enjoyed as a dessert or a sweet snack. Its preparation may vary slightly in different regions of Mexico, with some variations including the addition of other spices like orange zest, cloves, or anise.
