I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. It was indeed very easy and tasty. I made a few changes--used two large sweet potatoes and two large yams. I roasted them in the oven rather than boil and peeled them once they cooled a bit. I will definitely make this again. Thank you Neelys.

Very tasty, salty, sweet, and has a bit of a kick. Delicious. Definitely use yams though for that orange color, if you use white sweet potatoes it comes out looking like brown baby food...
