I loved these, and so did the people I served them to as an appetizer. I did bake them as suggested and really loved the sauce, it could go with fish or chicken too. They beat the Colonel's Mashies anyday.

This recipe called out for ginger. Other Jamacian sweet potato appetizer recipes that I saw did have ginger. Too many calories so I baked them as suggested but without brushing with oil. The mojito sauce was essential. Everyone said that they were good but there were a few left.

Very unique! Very good! Goes great with a very spicy jerk pork roast. Have made it several times for guests, and they cant stop commenting on how ggod it is!

Thanks for the great recipe Gay. I made these a while back and served them as an appetizer – they were extremely popular with our guests. I used orange sweet potato, (which I think you call yam in the States - we sometimes call it Kumara in Oz) but I think maybe the orange sweet potato was not the correct choice. Was I supposed to use the small white sweet potatoes? Anyway it was still wonderful although as the orange ones are big I think it changed the consistency of the mixture, even though I didn’t use the 3, because before and after baking they were quite soft and it was hard to keep their shape. I will make them again and still use the orange sweet potato but I will use about 1/2 next time. I would love to know what sweet potatoes you used Gay. This recipe was a lovely change from the usual appetizers even if I did use the wrong ones .
