i loved these sweet potatoes...i will go savory over sweet every time...the rest of the family thought they were ok but not something to make very often...but since i'm doing the review i'm giving 5 stars! -
The best potato recipe Ive ever made! I made it for thanksgiving and again tonight. Im a vegan so I made a few changes. I used vegan butter. I was gunna use vegan sour cream but when I tasted it without I decided it was already perfect. So I chose to omit the sour cream. Delicious!!! -
This was a tasty, easy recipe to prepare. I omitted the salt. Thanks for sharing! -
This may be my new favorite side dish. I loved the blend of flavors and ate the dinner leftovers for breakfast the next day. These were served with Turkey Meatloaf (recipe #77992) and Frizzled Cabbage (recipe #83524) for an excellent comfort food meal.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
