These were great. I used sucanat in place of white sugar and 2% milk instead of cream because I had none on hand. So easy delicious!

Wonderful !! Thankyou so much. Only change I made was to add 1T brown sugar. And it was very true to avoid the temptation to add more liquid. Oh, yes and I did use soymilk instead of heavy cream. Terrific cooking instructions.Turned out perfectly.

My 5 star review has to join these others. This was a wonderful, creamy, mildly sweet recipe. Just be careful to stir regularly and keep the heat low under the potatoes. I almost scorched mine.

Outstanding. I made this for the first time for Christmas dinner, with company, so the stakes were high! I thought the recipe seemed unusual by not boiling the potatoes, but forged ahead and am so glad that I did. It was absolutely great, very very easy, and perfect for those who don't like real sweet dishes. Just fresh tasting and really terrific. I feel well armed to face all future holiday dinners with such a reliable and delicious sweet potato recipe.
