The ingredients are great together, just not in the proportions listed. I can see how some people might like it that heavy in spices, but not me. I will try this recipe again with the same amount of potatoes and butter, but change the spices to 1/3 teaspoon cinnamon, a solid pinch of cardamom and 1/8 cup sugar. I would not make this recipe as written, but it could end up being a nice change for the family with some work. Thanks for posting.

OK, OK, so I don't know the difference between a yam (actually NOT a sweet potato) & an orange sweet potato (what I've ALWAYS called a yam!) but I do know what I like, & that's this darker orange thingie! So, this recipe caught my eye, & I'm so glad it did! Still, I probably spoiled it for some chefs, 'cause I COULDN'T bring myself to peel the potatoes! Instead I diced them small before steaming them & mashing them, & LOVED the added taste the peel gave! It seems that French Tart & I are on the same track when it comes to chutneys & preserves, 'cause less than a week ago I ordered a couple of bottles of Mrs Balls Chutney from Amazon.com & got it 2 days ago! Anway, I served some of her peach chutney with this, & IT IS OUTSTANDING! Thanks much for a keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed while touring Africa on Zaar's World Tour 4]

I made it exactly as posted and we also served Mrs Ball's Chutney on the side - you MUST try chutney with this recipe, it is wonderful! Made for ZWT4 - merci beaucoup EmmyDuckie!! FT:-)

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food.
I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun.
