I love sweet potatoes and I love bacon so this is a great combo. I used brown sugar in place of the granulated. I would recommend peeling the potatoes before you boil them only b/c it is a little hot to peel them after cooking. LOL I didn't want them to cool down too much so I only rinsed them in cold water for a bit. I used my electric mixed and they whipped up fast.

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!)
I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit.
My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
