We had them for Easter Dinner and they were good. Husband doesn't like sweet potatoes, but he ate them and even commented on how good they were. Will make again, but might tweak just a little with seasonings. I didn't have to add any milk, because the potatoes were already wet enough.

I used much less butter and syrup and it was sweet enough for me. Good flavour combination.

For a less sweet version I use butter sour cream and a can of chopped green chilies. My family who won't eat sweet potatoes normally, love this.

Made a few modifications but everyone loved it - especially the kids. I cut the yams in half & nuked them for about 8 minutes, let them cool for 10 minutes and them scooped them easily right out of the skin. Added about about 2 tsp butter, fresh ground black pepper, a pinch of cinammin & about 2 tbsp of maple syrup. Just mashed with a potaoe masher (didn't need a blender) Also cooked 6 slices of bacon until crispy - chopped and stirred in & the end. Bacon isn't the healthiest add i know but will probably do it again for special occassions.

A bit sweet with the maple syrup. I omitted the syrup all together and used sweet potatoes, not yams, which are a lot less sweet, but hard to find...yummy!

I did not like the taste of maple syrup with the sweet potatoes.

Could just be me, but I found the consistency too stringy. I also didn't have real maple syrup, I'm sure that would have made a difference, but 3 stars for the consistency alone

Very good recipe. I used half of the syrup and butter suggested. I thought it could have used even less syrup because I added more milk to mask the syrupy taste but my husband loved it. I suggest adding the butter and syrup in very small increments as suggested.

These were great!!! I had traditionally used a recipe that had brown sugar in it as well, and was looking for something slightly less sweet. This wins a place at the Thanksgiving table every year!
