I loved it! I am not fond of German potato salad but wanted a different sweet potatoe recipe, so I did not add vinegar. I could not find any red pepper 'flakes', [only crushed red pepper]; so I added a little red pepper jelly, plus full amount of apple jelly. It did need some more salt too. 'Picky eaters' probably won't like it but I was very, very impressed. Thank You for posting it!

Hey there! I am the wife of my dh, Steve, to whom I've been married a very short 12yrs. I am also the SAHM of three boys (11yo and 4yo at home, 23yo on his own). My middle insists that you know he is #57 in the picture, the first player facing you. LOL I graduated from Ball State University with a BS in Pre-Professional Psychology, which I get use of here at home frequently. I enjoy entering local bakeoffs and contests, creating handmade cards and am active in my local MOPS group. I have a extensive collection of cookbooks, but have found that Zaar has taken care of my appetite for any hands on cookbooks. I just love to bake, especially for the high school football team here during the fall. It is my favorite time of the year......sweaters, bonfires, leaves, pumpkins, caramel apples, football, all the stuff about fall is fun! Thanks for checking out my "about me" page and I look forward to seeing you around on the boards.
