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

which in this house is with butter, brown sugar, and yes, marshmallows. YUCK. and since the people in this house that like these obviously have no class or taste I just use canned. I tried making them from fresh sweet potatoes one year but nobody cared so I don't bother with it. I am sure they would like them with pecans, but pecans are expensive and are needed for pecan pie, not wasted on a nasty overly sweet side dish that I don't eat. LOL
