These are the best sweet potatoes and so easy to make too. I used canned sweet potatoes to cut the prep time down. -
This is a staple for holidays and pot-lucks and there is never a bite left. -
This was totally awesome and a major hit!!! I made it for Christmas dinner, but we ended up eating it as a dessert. I added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg to give it a little more kick. We are not big sweet potato fans, but I will definitely make them like this again. Thanks for posting. -
Thanks so much, this is my new favorite sweet potato recipe. SO yummy! I added a little nutmeg and allspice and broiled the yams for 5 minutes after baking to melt the topping more - which allowed me to cut back on cooling time. They were so easy to make and everyone loved them! -
Well, I wasn't sure whether to serve this as a side dish or dessert! Either way, yummy! The wait time for the crust to harden should be followed! Easy, delicious and fairly quick, especially if canned yams are used.
