Thank you Aunt Brenda for this dish. It has been a family Thanksgiving dish and will continue down the line with the next generation.

We love how these sweet potatoes are prepared. Cutting into chunks and not mashed, gives the potatoes a bit of extra texture. The sweet sauce poured on top is amazing! Of course, we had to top with a bit more marshmallows. This will be an impressive side dish at your holiday gathering.
