OH Yummmm... I wonder if this would be good with some sliced apples thrown in???
I have to have apples with my sweet potatoes...

I think apples might be a nice addition!

This looks great. How many servings would you say this makes? Thanks!

Easily 8 -10

Thanks again for the recipe. It was a hit! There were 8 of us and they licked the platter clean!

Glad you enjoyed it. It's quite different but very good.

I tried this last night and it was excellent! It's nice to have another really good recipe for sweet potatoes. Thanks!
