I can't believe I haven't reviewed this recipe. I make it almost every week now. It has all but replaced regular mashed potatoes in my house. The first time you make it, it really seems like there is not enough liquid, and you may be tempted to use more.... DON'T! They will be runny if you do. If you make them as directed,they turn out so light, and fluffy, and delicious, you will love them! I also use splenda brown sugar ( a bit more than called for, we like them a touch sweeter) and they are perfect! Thank you SO much for posting this recipe.

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.
