LEMONY GLAZED SWEET POTATOES
This is mom's alternative to the traditional sweet potatoes usually served at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the pairing of the lemon and spuds, but would personally cut back the sugar a bit, perhaps 1/4 cup of one or the other. (But I don't like candied yams at all.)

[email protected]The potatoes were a little dry, but the lemon glaze was delicious. I think I'll try adding some butter or olive oil to the potatoes next time.
