I waned something different for my sweet potatoes , not the usual sweet sugary recipes I always find. These fit the bill, they were easy to make the cooking time for me was perfect. The potatoes and onions were not over or under cooked. What a hit they were at my dinner party. Everyone complimented the flavor and not one person missed the the sugary sweet potatoes I usually cook. Thank you for a delicious new way of preparing sweet potatoes.

Another winner from Ms. Paula. These potatoes were incredible. Sweet and special. We loved the potatoes baked this way. They were perfectly cooked, soft, tender and full of flavor. The dish was quick and easy to make. The sweet potatoes really shone in this dish. Thank you for sharing with us. Made for PAC. :)

The only change I made to the recipe was to add in some chili powder for a bit of kick. Very nice potato recipe! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
