Not Too Sweet Sweet Potatoes image

I needed a good sweet potato recipe for Thanksgiving that satisfied the marshmallow topping brigade as well as those of us who didn't want something quite so sweet. So I played around with a variety of recipes and came up with this. It's definitely sweet, but not too sweet. And no marshmallow in sight!

These potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.
