THIS IS BEST SWEET POTATOE RECIPE I HAVE EVER TRIED!!! Thank you sooo much! Year after year I've been trying sweet potatoe/yam recipes one after the other and have never been too happy with the results. Sweet potatoes or candied yams being my Mom's all-time favorite holiday dish, I really needed to find a recipe to please her taste buds as well as my own. THIS WAS DEFINATELY A PLEASER! I, for the most part followed the recipe exactly except for a few minor changes. I used 3 very large yams instead of sweet potatoes. Also, instead of using a pastry blender to make the topping, I just put the sugar, COLD butter, flour and pecan mixture in my food processor and pulsed until it resulted in a cornmeal like texture. (Note: the recipe calls for 1/4 c. of butter and a 1/4 c. butter, SOFTENED but doesn't specify which is used for what. I used COLD butter for topping) Then I added some extra chopped pecans right on top for presentation and texture. My Mom is not a fan of mashing the sweet potatoes/yams so she was a little skeptical but after tasting this she was quick to change the way she felt about it. That sweet crunch to the topping paired againts the sweet creamy consistency of the yams were AMAZING!!! Thanks again! You hit the jackpot with this recipe :)
