I thought the potatoes were good and they fit in just fine with my friend's Asian-inspired potluck... but I'm not sure my friends liked them as much! I'm a sweet potato freak and would eat them just about any way you could serve them, though. Four stars.. yummy enough.. but not for everyone's taste buds.
