This is fantastic for so many reasons! The best reason is that it's not sweet! You can actually appreciate the natural sweetness of the veggies. I used my potato masher and I got a nice fluffy creamy texture. This is the kind of side dish that could go with pretty much anything. I used low fat sour cream, otherwise made this as written. If you love sweet potatoes like I do, this is major comfort food. Thanx for posting this; it's a real keeper!
