"Candied" Ginger Sweet Potatoes

4 sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled
1/3 cup Atkins KitchenTM Sugar Free Pancake syrup
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces plus extra for greasing pan
Heat oven to 350°F. Cut potatoes in 1 inch slices and cook in lightly salted boiling water 8 minutes until almost tender. Drain well.
While potatoes are cooking, heat syrup and ginger in a small sauce pan. Cook 3 minutes on low for flavors to blend; set aside.
Butter an 8 x 10 baking dish. Arrange potatoes in a single layer. Pour syrup mixture over potatoes. Dot with butter. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 35 minutes, or until potatoes are very soft.
