This recipe is from "Ruth's Chris Steak House". It's so yummy, probably could use it as a dessert! I think I will try using less sugar in the actual potatoes next time though.
ReplyDeleteThis is another winner! I agree with Jaime, I would taste the mashed sweet potatoes before adding sugar. Sweet potatoes can vary so much in level of sweetness. A less sweet mixture would be a nice counterpoint to the sweet topping. ;~).
