    This recipe is simply outstanding! This is similar to the Sweet Potato Puff that my family has been making for as long as I can remember but we all decided we like this one better! What really makes this recipe is the spices in the topping. I made exactly to the recipe except that instead of boiling the sweet potatoes, I cut them into about 3/4-inch chunks, drizzled on a tiny bit of olive oil, and roasted them at 400 deg. F for 45 minutes. Made this for a Thanksgiving potluck and my family requested that I make it again Thursday for T-giving day. I'm also printing out a copy for someone else that was at the potluck. Thanks so much for the recipe bayou-mimi!

    See the crooked photo, lol. This was really, really yummy but too sweet for our tastes. I think I'll try it w/ less brown sugar in the topping & get back to you...

    Very good flavor. The streusel didn't bake into a "crust" like I had expected, but I will be making again at Christmas. Probably will double the streausel mix.
