I have been making this recipe for years! It's great for a side dish for holidays or just as an every day week night dish. Note* The original recipe called for using already cooked sweet potatoes. I am adding the time in to cook them in this recipe, as I feel that it helps in your time management. Depending upon the size of your sweet potatoes , especially if yours are a little larger than medium, please adjust your cooking time accordingly.
