There are only a few ingredients and do not take long to make if you bake the sweet potatoes in the microwave like we did. It cut the cooking time in half. We had these on our Thanksgiving table and they definitely went quicker than any sweet potato dish Nana Helen has ever made! Try them for your next gathering and then tell me what your guests thought!
