My recipe has parboiled, sliced, sweet potatoes baked in a mixture of niyad Nov 24 #1

I would eat that as dessert. hlthe2b Nov 24 #3

Rather like sweet potato pie without the useless crust. niyad Nov 24 #8

Yup. It does sound good, though. hlthe2b Nov 24 #9

It definitely is! niyad Nov 24 #13

I love the bourbon addition. May try that with ours this year! lark Nov 25 #26

Most definitely! niyad Nov 25 #28

I don't eat the crust of any pie. Different Drummer Nov 24 #14

That is a bit scary! I don't eat the crusts because so few are worth it. niyad Nov 25 #29

My late aunt made that and I could never duplicate it or get her recipe. hedda_foil Nov 24 #4

Happy to share! Be warned-- a most exacting and detailed recipe! niyad Nov 24 #11

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Niyad! My aunt left out the parboiling instructions. hedda_foil Nov 24 #16

You are most welcome! Happy if I could help. Yes, the parboling part niyad Nov 24 #18

Parboil, cube, add pineapple, brown sugar, butter, and pecans woodsprite Nov 24 #7

Plain, with butter, with ginger syrup, with brown sugar & pecans. I love them. So good for you! CrispyQ Nov 24 #10

Ginger syrup? mmmmmm. And I just bought the potatoes yesterday. Ginger syrup niyad Nov 24 #12

I love it in tea. There's a ginger spread for toast that's wonderful, too! -nt CrispyQ Nov 24 #15

Will have to try it in my tea! I do have a ginger spread that I enjoy. On toast, niyad Nov 24 #19

Right? 2naSalit Nov 25 #25

No marshmallows. Anything else listed would be great. RandomNumbers Nov 24 #17

I can eat them fried or in other recipes, but I don't like the traditional T-day version Kali Nov 25 #20

I don't like that sweet version at all. I make a beef stew with them instead of white potatoes yellowdogintexas Nov 26 #39

love cajun seasing on sweet potatoes! Kali Nov 26 #40

cajun is a good substitute for Jamaican Jerk but the Jerk version is outstanding!. yellowdogintexas Dec 1 #41
