I didn't like Sweet Potatoes until Today!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Not a sweet potato person, but now things have changed. Used 1/3 cup brown sugar (not 1/2 cup) Used milk instead of... chicken stock Used a frozen banana (really ripe) Something about the banana/sweet potato combo that makes this recipe a knock out! Read more

This was Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this recipe and have passed it around to a few of my co-workers and family. However, instead of using chicken... stock, I used the heavy whipping cream and eyed the amount I put in so as not to make it soupy. I also added a couple of dashes of cinnamon and no salt. Read more

I just made this to go along with our Easter Ham and the whole family loved it! You cannot beat the fresh nutmeg and banana... mixed in. I'm so glad you do what you do Rachael! Mauzz~Read more

pretty sweet potatoes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe has just the right amount of orange and banana flavor. I would use a little less chicken stock than the recipe... calls for, or as another person suggested, subsitute cream. The consistency was a little too much like baby food, and next time will try to make the dish thicker. All in all, the sweet potatoes had a great taste and were just as good the next day!Read more

My family and I enjoyed Rachel's sweet potato recipe. I thought it was very tasty. I just added cinnamon because I love... cinnamon with sweet potatoes. Will definitely make again.Read more

Not a pleasing combination !
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made this for a Thanksgiving get together and it was a FLOP! I followed the instructions to a T, but the flavors did not... go well together. The potatos ended up bitter and nasty. The bannana, orange and chicken flavors were all fighting with each other and it was absolutly horrible. I was embarassed to have taken this recipe.Read more
