Delish! Failed to follow instructions, and it still turned out awesome. Used yams instead of sweet potatoes, and microwaved them (2 yams, cut off ends, 8 minutes with a half-time flip. As I said, I failed to follow directions, and only used 2 yams, so they were even richer than they should have been. Took me less than 1/2 an hour from start to finish. Family loved them. I have one left, and have refrigerated it. My intent is to top it with whipped creme and enjoy it with coffee. Almost dessert status! Maybe I'll do it the right way for Christmas. :

I love sweet potatoes and was looking for another way to prepare them. For me, they are sweet enough on there own, with the addition of the brown sugar they were too sweet. I also had the same results as some of others.... skins fell right off the potatoes, no way to stuff them. I mashed all the ingredients together and placed them in a casserole dish. Any recommendations on how to crisp the skin up enough to hold their shape?

Big hit! Not a fan of the sweet potato and marshmallow "thing". This was nice. No leftovers. Will make again! Didn't change a thing. Next time a little less brown sugar. This potato is sweet enough. THANK YOU Neelys!
