    It tasted great; however, it would be nice to know what size of dish he recommends using. I used a serving bowl and found that the potato layer and the topping were too thick. Maybe a 9x9 pan would work, but it should be a wide shallow dish rather than a serving bowl IMHO. Also, I didn't use the bananas as I didn't have any. Still tasted fine to me.

    Sweet, great topping, very banana-y. I followed the recipe to a T, with one exception. I roasted 2 bananas instead of 4. I was surprised how strongly the banana taste came through. It is a good recipe with an interesting taste but beware - the banana is not subtle. My family loved it, especially the guys! I would definitely give it a try if you're looking for something new.

    This dish is a nice change from the norm, and it has made repeat appearances at our Turkey Day dinner table. I have modified the recipe by adding a can of pineapple chunks for texture and additional flavor. You also must cook the potatoes longer than directed; more like an hour. The topping is delicious! It is a very sweet side dish--like a dessert--but it isn't any sweeter than, say, cranberry sauce. Give it a try.

    This is a fantastic recipe, incredibly easy to prepare and a beautiful side dish. It's also great for breakfast the morning after Thanksgiving with coffee!

    I started making this recipe 4 years ago. It's been a family favorite ever since. Now it's expected of me to make every Thanksgiving. Delicious sweet potato dish!

    We made these two years ago for a family Thanksgiving and absolutely loved them! I am making them for the first time this year, but am substituting a brown sugar-cinnamon topping instead of the brown sugar, flour, and pecans, as I am preparing this for friends who are gluten-intolerant (plus I am not a fan of pecans! I definitely suggest making this for a crowd, as it is a great alternative to the typical marshmallow-laden dish which I am allergic to.

    This recipe has become a new Thanksgiving tradition in our house. The bananas add a tangy flavor to the sweet potatoes which is a wonderful contrast to the thick sweet and crunchy topping. It's sweet without being sickening sweet and is filling and satisfying. I do add some cinnamon to the topping and sometimes to the potatoes, too. Delicious!

    I have used a version of this recipe of my sister's mother-in-laws for years and my kids won't let me ever skip it. I would like to add that if you are preparing ahead to cook later (even if it is only 30 minute later cover tightly and securely with saran wrap by pressing down onto the mixture to keep out all air and then refrigerate. This will keep from getting an ugly brown.

    Great recipe! Make this and nobody will ask for marshmallows on top ever again. But it is very sweet//tastes like dessert. For a simpler and healthier option try Ellie Krieger's Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey. Make those for dinner parties all the time-Very simple, inexpensive, and delicious and everybody asks for recipe.
