I made this dessert for Thanksgiving this year and it was yummy. I made it according to the directions, but added a layer of pumpkin spice pudding. So I layered the cake, pumpkin spice pudding, then the cream cheese layer. It made for a gorgeous presentation and I think that pumpkin layer is what the recipe was missing. Everyone loved this dessert!

I made this dish for Thanksgiving dinner this year instead of my usual sweet potato casserole and really enjoyed it so much more. I was growing tired of my sweet potato dish tasting more like a dessert, and really just wanted to enjoy the sweet potatoes by themselves without all the fluff. This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. It is sweet enough, but you are able to appreciate the sweet potatoes for what they are. It does only take 3 large sweet potatoes to cover bottom of dish in a single layer. I cut the potatoes in half rounds instead of cubes, as I think it makes for a nicer presentation. I sprinkled a little bit of cinnamon over the potatoes b/f adding liquid. I also used pure maple syrup, which I think is key. Incredibly easy and delicious.

I thought these were delicious pretty much as is, except I put 1T salt. They had plenty of flavor for me, without too strong of a vinegar taste. I did drizzle the balsamic right out of the bottle over the potatoes, estimating the amount. Didn't feel good about dumping 1/4 cup over them even with tossing. Excellent side dish.
