  1. My Aunt use to make sweet potatos on the stove top that were out of this world. I have been searching for a recipe like her's so you have a big climb to a 5 star recipe. These were sweet and flavorful. I would of liked more carmelization to bring these up to my aunt's. This recipe cane very close to her's. I will try them again, paying more attention to them and maybe tweek the brown surgar a little. Overall, great recipes. The standards were just set high. Thank you.
     
  2. Yes, this is exactly how sweet potatoes should be!!! Simple but delicious. Another example of excellent PA Dutch cooking, which is hard to beat!
