I have been trying to perfect my sweet potatoes for yrs now and this recipe was the best ever. My family loved them and even I went for more helpings. This year there were no leftovers. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe we loved it.

Really excellent! It was a big hit at our Thanksgiving dinner. I did make dome minor modifications. I cut the potatoes up into chunks (about 1-1.5"square). I used about 2/3 of a bag of mini marshmallows in place of the large ones. Finally, I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla to the cream before I poured it over the other ingredients.

This is a traditional recipe I make for Thanksgiving! A little tip...to save the precious oven/stovetop time boil the potatoes and place them in the pan the day before so all you have to do is put the toppings on and pop it in the oven before your family feast! Enjoy!
