    Served as one of two side dishes for part of Christmas Eve dinner menu, to accompany Roast Loin of Pork with Sausage Stuffing (Silver Palate New Basics). Wonderful complimentary flavors and bright spot of color on white dishes. Ease of preparation and ability to make the potatoes a day ahead and reheat was a real plus. Leftovers were just as tasty. Highly recommend this as a fall-winter side dish.

    Absolutely delicious even though I used 2% milk instead of the cream. Perfect accompaniment for my pork chops smothered with onions and apples.

    Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes – p. 582 I planned to make some cider-glazed grilled pork chops and while in search of a side dish, I found this recipe via an EYB search. I was drawn to the simplicity and, complimentary flavours of this potato dish and we were really pleased with the results. These creamy, maple-infused potatoes paired perfectly with the grilled pork and, were a real hit with our guests. Prep is simple. Potatoes are baked until tender then, halved and the flesh is scooped into a bowl and mashed along w butter, cream, syrup, salt and pepper. RR notes that the potatoes can be made ahead and reheated and I’d have been happy to give this a try if there had been leftovers. As it turned out, every last bite of these potatoes were gobbled up and our Golden Retriever was all too happy to lick out the serving dish!!! Why I invested in a new dishwasher I’ll never know!!! Great side dish, happy to recommend this one!!

    I've made this 3 or 4 years running for Thanksgiving. It's simple, delicious and reheatable. Good with purple sweet potatoes, too.
