2 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks, plus more for baking dish
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

Make it more savory.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I always will make a dish before serving it, especially to guests. This dish needs more salt and pepper than the recipe... calls for, otherwise the sweetness overpowers it. I thought that the cheddar cheese would give it the salt factor, but I was wrong. To really make it shine, I doubled the salt and pepper according to the recipe. I dusted the top with paprika to give it color before baking. (I only cook with kosher salt so that maybe the reason that it needed the extra salt). My guests raved about it and had to give them the recipe before they left. It's a keeper.Read more

Easy Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you heat up the milk and the cream with the spices first and let it reduce before putting in the sweet potato slices, then... it's not runny. Once you reduce the sauce, put the sweet potatos in the skillet with the sauce and then cover with a lid to ensure that the potatos get cooked. Once they are cooked, ,then put in the baking dish and bake as directed. This process allows the milk/cream sauce to reduce first, then the cover allows the potatos to fully cook without worrying they will get too soft. Cheers Read more

HMMM...

We tried this recipe for Thanksgiving. It never thickened and was runny. The taste was very nice with the spices used, but... it was very, very runny. No one had seconds. Read more

My husband and I made this tonight for a new twist on sweet potato mash. It was really delicious, it got even better the... longer it sat on the stove and cooled. We cannot wait for left overs tomorrow. This was a melt in your mouth side dish that everyone we love!!!!!THis is a keeper for us. We also mixed in a few russet potatoes, since we were short with the sweet and it was a great balance!!!!!! Thamks Irvine, anything is possible :)Read more

Excellent!!!!!! Can't stop talking about it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am not a sweet potato person but I thought I would try something new for my first Christmas dinner at my house. This one... sounded good and easy to prepare and boy did it come through for me. I had 10 people over for dinner and every single person had seconds and is still talking about the dish. I had to hide some of the leftovers in the back of my fridge so I would have some because everyone wanted to take some home. It is also very good leftover. I will be making this again soon!Read more
