I scaled this back for 3 of us using 3 long skinny sweet potato which was more then enough for us (had a serve left over and the DM has claimed that for breakfast lightly fried up and served with an egg), I used less than a tablespoon of sugar (which was plenty for us - don't like sugary sweetness) and about 2 tablespoons of 3 of butter, I wizzed up 2 slices of wholemeal/wholegrain bread for the bread crumbs which gave more than specified but added a lovely crunch to the dish which I think made it the winner. Thank you Sydney Mike, made for Please Review My Recipe. -
I love sweet potatoes and was really hoping someone would list one for the tour and this one fit the bill. This was a nice and easy recipe, plus I really liked the additon of the whole wheat bread crumbs. Made for ZWT6
