    We looove sweet and spicy! I sliced my potatoes really thin so they'd cook in time. After I browned the pork, I threw the potatoes, apples, and onion into the skillet and sauteed for a few minutes. I also added some applesauce for extra moisture. YUM! We'll make it again for sure! - 5/13/09

    I enjoyed this, but there was too much spice on the vegetables for my liking (and that is saying something!) Next time I will slice the sweet potatoes thinner and the apples thicker so they are all the same consistency when done. - 12/7/09

    Yes, you may need to adjust the seasonings. I've never measured them. I just sprinkle until it looks good to me, so the measurements are estimated.

    I used pork roast and halved the sweet potatoes, and omitted the sugar. It was great and a keeper! - 2/3/10

    Very good flavor. I am going to try others suggestions to add applesauce to make it more moist. I used some brown sugar too, which I really liked. The apple/potato/onion mixture should be tossed around a little during cooking so the top doesn't dry out too much. - 12/2/10

    The veggies take longer than 25 minutes. I had to remove the pork and continue cooking the veggies for at least another 45 minutes. I think the potatoes need to be precooked and sprinkling the spices to taste is highly recommended as I followed the recipe and almost choked on the amount of spice. - 3/15/10
