Candied Ginger Sweet Potatoes

http://www.atkins.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe115/Candied-Ginger-Sweet-Potatoes.aspx

Ingredients:
• 4 sweet potatoes, (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
• 1/3 cup sugar-free pancake syrup
• 1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger, chopped
• 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 450°F. Butter an 8-by 10-inch baking dish.
2. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until almost tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain.
3. Combine syrup and ginger in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until syrup is warm and the flavors have blended, about 3 minutes.
4. Arrange potatoes in a single layer in baking dish. Pour syrup mixture over potatoes. Dot with butter. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until potatoes are very soft, about 40 minutes

Note:
So this website does not list the sugar count, I looked it up on CalorieKing and it lists one whole sweet potato at 26.7 carb, 3.8 fiber, 8.7 sugar.
Being that this receipe calls for 4 whole potatoes totaling for 6 people. I am assuming that one whole sweet potato is more than one serving.
My best estimate is to take the one potato * it by 4 and divide by 6 servings =
17.8 carb, 2.53 fiber, 5.8 sugar.
S/C = 6/1 - little high in sugar but you could short yourself a little in the serving department. For me I could enjoy just a half a serving, just to have a taste of something good.
