Spicy Sweet Potatoes

“My family fell in love with the combination of sweet and spicy in this potato side dish the very first time they tried it. It goes great with poultry...and looks so pretty on the dinner table. I try to serve it often. --Lynn Thomas London, Ontario”

Great taste, but you really have to keep an eye on them in the oven ~ when they start to burn on the bottom they go fast! Also absolutly use foil lined pans, even if the pans are non stick!!!

This was a very tasty dish, good for thanksgiving and christmas dinner...It put a different spin on things, aside from the normal candied yams we have each year. However, a few suggestions: First, I used butter instead of oil, as it gave it a richer flavor. Second, I cut the potatoes a bit thicker than 1 inch...probably 2 inches, as I enjoyed more of a texture than the 1 inchers could provide. Third, if you are going to put marshmallows onto this dish, you need a more extensive amount, as only a few just cooked into the dish (though it made a wonder candy coating!). I omitted the pepper, though it was good...but just wasn't for thanksgiving. Both ways are good in different ways, though!

My guests loved this dish! So simple to make. My modifications were the result of not having enough sweet potatoes: I had to use one large red potato (with skins) which did not disrupt the dish's flavor (may have added some eye appeal). I also lacked the cayenne pepper so I substituted chili pepper (cayenne would have added a little more 'heat' to the dish which I would have liked). I must admit I liberally greased the pan with butter!! Yum yum... My wife wants me to make it for her and my daughter again, and soon!

Served this for Thanksgiving but only had chili powder. It worked fine and everyone including myself, who is not a sweet potato fan, loved them. I even ate what little was left over!

A wonderful savory twist to sweet potatoes. I broiled the last 5 mins. to caramelize the top. So fantastic.

I absolutely love this recipe, I might be weird, but I dip them in ketchup, oh so good!

these are seriously yummy, especially considering that you make them with ingredients that you generally have in the cabinet

This was delicious. I doubled the recipe and used half yams and half regular sweet potatoes and it turned out great. All of us enjoyed the yellow sweet potatoes best, so I will probably just use those next time.
