This is such an unusual combination of ingredients, but they work together so well. I cut down the quantity to a single sweet potato and just eyeballed the rest. (I did also throw in a carrot I had leftover from another recipe). I'm now sorry I did not make more of it, as it's really good.

I can't believe this recipe hasn't been reviewed sooner! It is simple to make and so delicious. Some might think the ingredients don't go together but they do! They work really well together. A taste explosion!
