My husband and I tried this at the Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disney world, which is an absolutely marvelous buffet of African food. We loved it. I tried to get the waiter to sneak me the recipe to no avail. But he would tell me the ingredients, so I had to work out the proportions myself. It's pretty close.

I love sweet potatoes and always look for a different way to prepare them. This recipe was a nice change-up with the combination of white/sweet potatoes. A true comfort dish. We made this with Chicken and Apple Curry for ZWT4.

These were good. A nice change from the usual savory potatoes. Even dh who does not really care for sweet potatoes thought they were good. Thanks!

OK, OK, so I don't know the difference between a yam (actually NOT a sweet potato) & an orange sweet potato (what I've ALWAYS called a yam!) but I do know what I like, & that's this darker orange thingie! So, this recipe caught my eye, & I'm so glad it did! Still, I probably spoiled it for some chefs, 'cause I COULDN'T bring myself to peel the potatoes! Instead I diced them small before steaming them & mashing them, & LOVED the added taste the peel gave! It seems that French Tart & I are on the same track when it comes to chutneys & preserves, 'cause less than a week ago I ordered a couple of bottles of Mrs Balls Chutney from Amazon.com & got it 2 days ago! Anway, I served some of her peach chutney with this, & IT IS OUTSTANDING! Thanks much for a keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed while touring Africa on Zaar's World Tour 4]
