You proved it! Sweet potatoes don't need brown sugar and marshmallows to be delicious! I substituted a little half n half for the buttermilk and added a little extra cinnamon. They were wonderful. Thank you! -
Awesome. Made for Christmas dinner with ham and green beans. Added a tiny bit of Splenda to taste. -
Very good. These were a nice change of pace, and a real treat on the South Beach Diet. I added about a tablespoon of Splenda to sweeten it up a bit, and I didn't have allspice, so I added cinnamon and clove in addition to the nutmeg called for. Tasty! -
I made this for Thanksgiving, though I multiplied the recipe about four times since my yams were about 2 lbs total. When finished, I found the result a bit bland, so I added more butter, pepper, and nutmeg. All in all, a decent recipe, but I think I prefer my sweet potatoes slightly sweetened. -
I'm so glad to find a delicious sweet potato recipe that doesn't use sugar.This was perfect.
