Really good! I love sweet potatoes. My DH, not so much. I had some left over from another recipe and knew he wouldn't be thrilled with the idea of eating them as is. This recipe was the perfect compromise. I substituted plain yogurt for the sour cream and added about a 1/2 t. of garlic powder while mashing. He loved them. Thanks for posting the recipe. -
A simple basic sweet potato mash which we all enjoyed, though I did add a couple of pinches of cinnamon and nutmeg but otherwise made as directed. Went beautifully with recipe #222119. Thank you Lizzie Rodriquez, made for Healthy Choice - ABC tag game. -
A recipe that made my ears itch. My husband talked about it for hours. -
Awesome, simple, fool-proof recipe! I made them "plain" and they were perfect. I also didn't have sour cream, but it was great w/o it. Thanks for the recipe! -
I needed to use up some sweet potatoes from my parents' garden so I tried this recipe and it turned out very good! I will definitely make it again.
