"I randomly came up with this when something slightly sweet but lower calorie and lower fat than normal sweet potato casserole. It can be served as a side dish or as a dessert depending on your tastes and if you like slightly sweet things with your savory meals."

I made this recipe but added a quarter cup of real maple syrup to the mashed sweet potatoes. It gave it a smooter flavor. The group of friends I served it to, loved it!
