Submitted by New Veggie

"I love this recipe because it's not often you see sweet potatoes used without the sweeteners like brown sugar or honey. It's also really easy."

I love sweet potatoes and I liked this recipe becasue they weren't sweet. The potatoes go well with almost any meal and are very easy to prepare. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

I know that sweet potatoes are much more nutritious for you than white potatoes but..I do not like sweet potatoes. I find them just too sweet for my tastes. My husband and 2 kids love them. I thought we'd try this as an alternative to the sticky sweet version they usually eat. My husband said they were ok and so did my daughter but they both prefer them with brown sugar and butter. My son inhaled them, and I thought they were really very good. I am rating them based on my liking them since I have never met a sweet potato I liked before. Thanks for a diff (and more healthful) way to prepare a heathy veggie! Reviewed for PAC Spring 2008.
