  1. Face REVIEW:

    I made this using 4 fresh sweet potatoes. First I peeled the sweet potatoes, then I steamed them in a microwave steamer because I didn't want to wait over an hour to bake them. Then I followed the recipe, but forgot to add one egg. For some reason I thought the recipe caled for 2 eggs. I also spilled the vanilla by accident so there was about a tablespoon and a half of vanilla extract. Anyway, the recipe was great even with the mistakes. Thank you for posting. But it is sweet. I is more like pie filling.

    This is an amazing dish. I served it for the first time at Thanksgiving this year and the bowl was licked clean. I had family members copying the recipe at the table before they left. If you like sweet potato's you'll love this recipe!

  7. kateroses REVIEW:

    THIS IS RECIPE IS VERY, VERY TASTY. I do not cook well and my entire family knows that. Yet, I still prepare a dish for every Thanksgiving and this is the first time (in over 20 years) that everyone was really impressed with my cooking! Now, this is the only dish I am allowed to prepare for a gathering and it really is quite tasty.

    My grandmother turned me on to this recipe and it is delicious. Even people that don't like sweet potatoes ask for seconds of this dish! Please note that it is VERY sweet... almost like more of a dessert.
