I made a full recipe and 3 of us gobbled up the lot I think that says the lot. Thank you WiGal, made for Everyday A Holiday. -
My irrational fears of getting old might be getting the best of me along with premature blindness, but for the love of eating, I can't find the brown sugar amount in the listed ingredients. I guessed at the amount of sugar and in the meantime, Fairy Godmother please bring back my vision. Made for Everyday Is A Holiday. -
I really liked this, but I made it fatty. I used heavy cream and butter. I was also feeling lazy, so I just layered the potatoes and sprinkled with spices and brown sugar. They were yummy, and the sauce was very nice. I forgot the orange zest, though. -
This was a very great dish! I loved that it made just enough servings without having tons of leftovers. Everything cooked up with ease in 30 minutes. The only change was I used butter in place of the spread. Great flavors and tender potatoes. So glad I tagged you in 123 Hits. -
Made this tonight to go along with chicken. This will be the new sweet potato standard for our holiday meals! DH always said nothing beat his mom's recipe...he's singing a different tune now! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
