Lovely selections of sweet potato recipes. I feel I always do the same thing with sweet potatoes. - I must try the sweet potato casserole with streusel. That immediately piqued my interest.
Jere Cassidy
That streusel topping just added some great texture to the potatoes.

I love sweet potatoes and prefer them savory. I remember the first time I ever tasted them was at a Thanksgiving dinner shortly after my arrival in the USA. They were filled with marshmallows and candied nuts and they were just too sweet. Only later did I discover how delicious they can be when prepared without added sugar. My favorite way is roasting sliced sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, and a very generous sprinkling or fresh or dried marjoram.
Jere Cassidy
Yes, for years that sweet potato recipe with the marshmallow was the go-to recipe for the holidays. I still love it but I have gone to the savory side now in my sweet potato recipes.
