Quick and easy prep for a nice side dish. I did find the mashed sweet potatoes to be a bit runny and stirred in a bit of mashed potato flakes to firm them up. I also added a bit of maple syrup to enhance the sweetness. I prepared these the night before, and placed in a greased casserole dish to be reheated in the oven as part of a pork roast lunch for some hungry farm workers. That method worked very well.

I am a Real Estate Agent in my hometown of Jackson, Michigan. Due to my schedule and because I work a lot of evenings, I am always looking for easy, fast recipes that don't skimp on taste and quality. My husband is a wonderful cook and he enjoys preparing dinner in my absence (especially barbecue). But when I get the opportunity to cook, I enjoy finding a new, tasty recipe that we will all enjoy. Thanks to Recipezaar for giving me tried and true recipes and cook comments. It is the only recipe website I visit.
