      These are wonderful!! Definitely a gourmet Thanksgiving or Christmas highlight dish!!! I love the vanilla bean specks against the pretty light orange color of the sweet potatoes!! Be sure and bake the potatoes on foil because they have lots of sugar that bakes black and very impossible to get off of your baking sheets. I did not process these, I just mashed with a fork for some texture. I added 1/4 cup vanilla sugar that I keep and a pinch of salt to my cream mixture in the saucepan and blended until the sugar was dissolved then added to my mashed sweet potatoes. It was extra vanilla with the vanilla sugar!!!! Will definitely make these again, thanks so much for posting!!!!!

      Fantastic! I would give 10 stars if I could. I used FF Half and Half, super creamy and delicious.

      Wow, incredible! I cut the recipe in half for 2 of us and I used half skim milk and half, half & half to reduce some of the calories and milk. I also cut the butter amount in half. The potatoes were still pretty creamy. I love the addition of the vanilla bean! I would have never thought to put it in. It really adds a great depth to the potatoes without taking away its simplicity. This will be a keeper in my book! Thanks so much for posting!!

      Perfect! DH is not a fan of super sweet yam dishes and I decided to try this recipe for Thanksgiving this year. Everyone loved it! Definitely worth the trouble of hunting down vanilla beans. Served with a dollop of http://www.recipezaar.com/Texas-Roadhouse-Cinnamon-Butter-124968 this was over the top and DH ate all the left overs. Thanks!

      This came out of a Food & Wine magazine cookbook - I made it about 4 years ago for Thanksgiving, to great success. Just tried it again tonight; still just as good. I use half & half instead of heavy cream & it is delicious. Sometimes I like to separate the finished product in half & make it 2 ways: savory (salt & pepper) & sweet (brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon). Thanks for posting it, I was really happy to find it here since my cookbooks are in storage!

      This recipe made it into Book #179627 I don't know what to say except WOW! If I could give these potatoes 6 stars, I would. It has all the Simplicity, it's inexpensive (ok, worth the vanilla bean 10 times over), and is packed with flavor! Thanks for a dynamite keeper!
