"DH and I eat a lot of sweet potatoes-usually baked- so this is special treat for us and can easily be split for only the two of us. It is faster this way than baked and I always have the ingredients on hand. It originally came from Better Homes and Gardens. I have reduced the sugar after Kumquat's kind review."

I had two bigg sweet potatoes to use so this recipe was perfect for us and this dish was really tasty and good! For this recipe I used fresh rosemary from the garden. The house smelled sooo goood! Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

I prepared this differently from the directions. First I caramelized the onions and sweet potatoes with the sugar, added veg broth and covered the lid. The rosemary was added the last 5 minutes of cooking to infuse the flavor. Used fresh rosemary from the garden, too! Served over a bed of baby arugula. Very good! Made for Best of 2011.

Definitely a winning recipe no matter how I look at it, but then, I do love the sweet potato, almost any way but with mini marshmallows on it! Loved the caramelized onions in this dish, & look forward to wowing friends during the end-of-year holidays! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hits recipe tag]

I prepared this dish for an early Christmas dinner I hosted with friends. They were cooked in a covered cast iron skillet without any added water. The onions caramelized with the lightly glazed potatoes and they were a real hit. These were served along side a stuffed pork loan, broccoli and cranberry relish. Made for Tis the Season in the Diabetic Forum.
