Have used this recipe for a long time - once the kids were out of the marshmallow topping! Have sliced the potatoes after whole potatoes were boiled. - 11/12/13

Too sweet if not used to sweet. Cut back brown sugar to about 2 Tbsp. - 11/12/13

Today is Thanksgiving and as I was flipping through recipes for yams, I came across this one. What a nice blend..even had to run to the store for OJ.....the yams are in the oven as I write this. The sauce is delicious...... I topped it with pecans. Thanks and happy turkey day! - 11/25/10

I made this for Thanksgiving, and loved the flavor, wasn't really crazy about the texture. I think the next time I make this, I will just bake the sweet potatoes so they are a little firmer. - 11/29/13
