I look forward to trying this sweet potato recipe. What’s the difference between sweet potatoes and yams. Could I make it from yams too?
Christy, I am planning to use praline pecans this year in my topping. Can’t wait to try before I eat all the praline pecans.
You have some serious goals! I am not sure I could keep from eating the praline pecans before the big day got here!
Hi—I’m wondering if you could use canned sweet potatoes?
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I love using my Grandmother’s recipes, too – it always makes me think of her and what a dear, sweet lady she was.
Thank you for sharing. I have been looking for this recipe! A family member used to bring it for Thanksgiving and I have missed it! I have tried other recipes but they fall short. This looks like the one I have been looking for.
I hope it is THE ONE you have been looking for Martha, hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
