    When it comes to the holidays, I would never think to mess with my family's candied yams, but this is a great recipe for weekday meals. My boyfriend said, "I know you have made me tons of amazing things, but this is my favorite." He then finished of the whole pan. They are the pefect sweet to savory ratio with a great crunch from the pecans. I like steaming veggies opposed to boiling them to reduce the break down of nutrients and I try to use yams as much as possible because they are jam packed with nutrients. I added a generous pinch of cayenne to the topping to add a kick and nearly doubled up on the seasonings.

    I wasn't too happy with this recipe. I LOVE sweet potatoes and I didn't think it was sweet enough. I couldn't taste any of the spices, just plain sweet potatoes.

    My husband felt it was too sweet, and my son didn't touch it. To do it over, I'd just do plain mashed sweet potatoes, and skip the added ingredients.

    I liked it, but it was pretty dessert-like.

    I boiled the sweet potatoes rather than steamed them, and I used a 9X13 pan so I increased the topping. I also added about 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the topping to hold it together better. People really liked this dish. I think that like many sweet potato dishes it was even better the second day.

    Fantastic. Not overly sweet, special enough, and unanimously enjoyed by all family and friends. Easy too make, too.

    This was a hit at Christmas! I used Pumpkin Pie Spice, increased the pecans to 3/4 cup, & omitted the brown sugar. Everyone loved it (even those who don't like sweet potatoes. A real keeper!
