This tasty recipe from the Dominican Republic is usually made with a type of island pumpkin called calabaza. I've adapted it to use with regular sweet potatoes.

These sweet potatoes were a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. I don't think I'll be making them again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sweet potatoes turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

Not a fan of these sweet potatoes. They were too sweet and mushy for my taste.

The sweet potatoes were a bit dry, but overall they were still good. I think I might add a little more butter or oil next time.

The sweet potatoes were a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These sweet potatoes were the perfect side dish for our Thanksgiving dinner. They were sweet and savory, and they went well with the turkey and stuffing.
