Notes about this recipe

  • mharriman on May 24, 2026

    I really liked the idea of combining all the ingredients at the beginning in one pot and having a finished product at the end of cooking. The instructions were easy to follow and the potato mixture mashed easily after 30 minutes on the stove. I used half n half instead of heavy cream and was glad I did. What I didn’t like so much was the recipe’s very heavy sugar and butter content. The butter and brown sugar made for heavily sweetened sweet potatoes- almost too much sweetness for our taste- especially paired with the bourbon chicken recipe on the same page.
