I didn't use the nuts and, like most reviews here said, the amount of water that the recipe calls for is too much. i used about 1/2 the water and poured the excess off after baking the potatoes and before putting the marshmallows on. These were great and even better the second day. I'm definitely cooking these again!

After reading the review, I reduced the water and it was not an issue. Was it just me; I thought this was horrendously sweet. When I reheated the leftover, in particular, the potatoes and the remaining syrup burned my tongue with their concentrated sweetness. Maybe this is standard in America, but I will reduce sugar next time I make this.

I halved the recipe and it turned out perfect. I followed the advice of others and greatly reduced the amount of water. Delicious!

Just made this recipe this Thanksgiving and it was a hit!!! I agree with everyone else 1/4 cup of water is fine. I read the peoples reviews and that was the only thing I change. This recipe is soooo good and it tasted even better the next day:

GREAT SWEET POTATOES! But I agree - way too much water! Gotta be a typo! Probably should say 1/2 cup and not 1 1/2 cups. I will DEFINITELY make again with no more than 1/4 cup of water though. Thanks Sunny!

This was the best sweet potatoes recipe that I've tried. I wasn't going to make sweet potatoes this year, but my husband really wanted me to, so I tried this recipe, and I'm glad I did. The brown sugar and the pecans give this dish a nice flavor. This recipe does call for way too much water, but I only used half a cup, but even that was too much, so I drained the water as needed. It wasn't a big problem for me, though. I also added some cinnamon to this dish. The flavor was awesome.

I like sweet, but these were suuuuuper sweet. A little soupy. Not terrible... but not excellent.

Made these last year because I usually don't like sweet potatoes. They were delicious! Although, I ran into the same problem other people had with the syrup, it didn't thicken! These were very good but this year I'm doing a little less than half the suggested amount of water.

It was a HIT last thanksgiving and I am now taking over the family tradition from my grandmother. I look forward to making it next week.

I see that other review say that the sauce didn't thicken. I bake mine the day ahead and cover it overnight with foil. I just put the marshmellows on or put a second layer on to heat up when ready to eat.

I didn't eat this because I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes. I made it for Thanksgiving because my husband loves sweet potatoes. I used canned yams and used only half the amount of water suggested per other users reviews and they were a hit! My daughter and hubby gobbled them up! Kinda wish I did eat them ;-(
