I make this recipe every holiday, a family favorite. I make one BIG change that makes a world of difference...instead of sweet potatoes, use Japanese sweet potatoes, found at farmer's markets or Asian grocery stores, makes it 10x better!

Maybe I shouldn't add water when I try to mash it with blender. Too wet for me, though the flavor is really good (I cut the sugar in half)

Very good. Nice rich flavor and wonderful texture. This was a hit at my Thanksgiving party. I also added coconut extract to the mixture and used coconut milk instead of regular milk. We love pecans so I substitute pecans for walnuts. The topping adds a nice candied flavor. Yummy!

this was definitely a table pleaser, but I did change the recipe and reduced the white sugar to 1/2 cup and added cinnamon and nutmeg as was recommended. Next time I will reduce the sugar even more and reduce it in the topping as well.

great recipe! i added cinnamon and nutmeg as suggested by others. also cut down on the sugar in the sweet potato mixture, which i will do with the crumble topping next time. i omitted the coconut, which is why it ended up too sweet, i guess. also, i put everything on a graham crust (in an 8x8 square pan) so it became more like a pie. but it was great! will make this again soon!

I used pecans instead of walnuts. This seriously is the best sweet potato recipe ever! I've made several others and no one raved like they did with this one. My mother was an excellent cook, and at Thanksgiving dinner my sister said that my sweet potatoes were even better than Mom's. Now that's a compliment!

This was one of the best if not the best Sweet Potato dish I've ever made/tasted. One of my guests kept going uhmmm, uhmmm, yummm the whole time. I added about 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (made my own from this site) and I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup, but those were the only changes I made. I wasn't sure how much 3 cups would amount to in and used 5 yams. It was perfect. Thank you Ricki.

After not being able to find her usual sweet potato bake recipe for Thanksgiving this year my mom asked me to look for one. Honestly, at first the coconut and walnuts made us both a little concerned but we followed the directions and doubled the recipe... It turned out GREAT! Everyone loved it at Thanksgiving! This is a definate keeper!

I made this for Thanksgiving with my family and got a ton of compliments on it. I made it exactly as stated but it did end up making more topping then the casserole really needed. I just used what I needed and tossed out the rest but I'd probably reduce the amounts by 1/3 or so. Good recipe, but very sweet.

I made this recipe today and it was a hit. I always buy my canned sweet potatoes but now I will always make this recipe. I used a variation of another souffle recipe and added the eggs yolks to the mix. Used the mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff and folded them onto the batter and baked in a greased pan. I cut down on the sugar and added marshmallows at the end and baked for few minutes. Great recipe. Thanks!

I did make this our dessert! It tasted like a pie without a crust. Everyone is right in saying the topping is GREAT. I made it according to the recipe but for a dessert will add spices next time.

Didn't like it at all. I tasted more like a dessert than a side dish. I always love sweet potato but perhaps this recipe used too much sugar!

This recipe has made me the superstar of Thanksgiving – people wait for this to arrive. Up until I had this dish I had never encountered a sweet potato side that I actually liked! The flaked coconut addition really makes this dish unique and TDF. I do make some modifications to this recipe to cater it more to my own personal tastes – I reduce the white sugar to ¼ c. otherwise this dish is way too overwhelmingly sweet, I also reduce the butter in the soufflé to ¼ c. and the butter in the topping to ¼ c., I add cinnamon and nutmeg to the soufflé mix, and I substitute pecans for walnuts in the topping. Thank you so much Ricki for proving that sweet potatoes can taste good!
