Best Sweet Potatoes

These really are the best sweet potatoes, you won’t want to go back to making them any other way. It’s more like getting to eat dessert than vegetables! 

We don’t remember where the recipe came from, but know it turned the unappreciated, but obligatory sweet potatoes into a dish that gets requested every year (it’s a must for Thanksgiving dinner). 

It’s both easy and delicious! And it usually gets made again at Christmas, everyone just seems to love it.
