I made this for the first time right after it appeared in the 2006 issue, and it has become a staple for holidays or any other excuse to make it! I didn't even think I liked sweet potatoes all that much until I tried this one. I always get requests for copies of the recipe for this one. It's easy to make and absolutely delicious!

I made a smaller portion (4 servings--3 medium potatoes and 1 cup of cream). Instead of the cayenne, I used a tsp of granulated garlic along with salt and pepper. My boyfriend and I polished off the pan, we both really loved it! I'm looking forward to making this as one of my Thanksgiving side dishes :)

This recipe is fantastic and my family doesn't even really like sweet potatoes. It is so rich and creamy and was a huge hit at the big family gathering. Next time I will make it with 2 percent milk and save a few hundred calories. Excellent.

Very good. I used cheddar cheese as that's all I had, and substituted skim milk for the cream (same amount as recommended). I added bacon bits too. This is a nice change from candied sweet potatoes!

I made this dish last night for a party and it got rave reviews! I added a layer of cheddar cheese which I thought made it even more tasty. I will definitely make this again. It is a nice change from the more traditional "sweet" sweet potato dishes.
