Personal Notes:
I’ve made these sweet potatoes for the holidays for several years, and I have gradually reduced the sugar the last couple years. This recipe reflects those changes and I think they taste even better now!
I’ve also used the canned yams for many years. They are still very good and easy, but I’ve discovered that the fresh, roasted sweet potatoes take this yummy recipe to a whole higher level of deliciousness!
