WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO SERVE UP SWEET POTATOES ~ Absolutely great! I did a little fudging on the potatoes, probably using a bit more than suggested, & well as including some 11 ounces of ham! This is certainly a recipe I want to keep around! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag]
