First let me say that for us, three sweet potatoes would have made six servings, especially when served with a full meal, so (again, for us) the nutritional facts were way off! Nevertheless, I cut the recipe back so I could use just two sweet potatoes, which gave us two servings fresh from the oven & another two as leftovers, & they were just as good then as the first time around! Very easy to make, & id did toast & then chop the almonds! A very nice keeper of a recipe, thanks to you posting it! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]
