We liked this, we had a guest who did too. DH's comment was "not at the very top of the list of the sweet potato recipes you have tried out recently, but definiately nice enough to keep and to have semi regularly". Zaar has turned him into a food snob LOL. I was a little afraid that the sweetness in the potato and the sweetness of the maple syrup combined would be a bit over the top, but somehow they are different and complimented each other, and while it was sweet, it wasn't too much at all. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for a simple, easy to make recipe that was enjoyed by all and requested again :) Thanks!
