I prepared this for Tday and it was delicious. I actually made it the day before which worked out well. Every year I forget the diff between yams and sweet potatoes but now I know that the orange/red ones are the way to go. I had made sweet potato pie so I really didn't want a syrupy marmellowy side dish. This did the trick. It reminded me of the sweet potatoes I used to get at an upscale restaurant. I think I overcooked my shallots but they were still good. I served them on the side because I figured the kids wouldn't want them (I was correct). Thanks for the yummy recipe. I'll be making them again.

This is a great recipe for sweet potatoes. Simple yet delicious. We just tried it yesterday for our Thanksgiving dinner and all our guests loved it! The cardamom taste is amazing and adds a unique flavor to it. We mixed sweet potatoes with yams which gave us a nice mix of colors (yellow and orange). We will definitely be making this one again!

VERY tasty recipe, I love the cardamom with the sweet potatoes. I made this for Thanksgiving last year and it went fast, I am looking forward to having it again this year! You can even leave the butter out and it's just fine.

These were quite tasty. I like the flavor of sweet potatoes (and they're good for you!), but I am NOT a fan of the whole marshmallow/brown sugar thing. I also didn't have shallots but used mild red onion in its place, which was okay, though next time I would chop it rather than slice it in rings.

I *loved* this recipe. The cardamom flavor went amazingly well with the sweet potatos. I used garnet yams and also skipped the shallots all together. The only downside was they were a bit too thick. Next time I will add some milk to make them creamier.

This is a really sophisticated and easy way to dress up sweet potatoes, especially for those of us who don't like the gooey sweet marshmallowed variety. Even without the fried shallots, this is a tasty dish full of beta carotene!

I liked the combination of flavors in this recipe. I am a fan of cardamon. However, I would simply fork mash the Sweets next time to give them a little more texture.

These potatoes were incredibly easy. I was so grateful I didn't have to peel them, and once they were baked the rest was a snap. They got rave reviews from my family. Best of all, they didn't need added sugar or syrup, so our diabetics didn't have to compensate for it. The cardamom gave it interesting flavor and the fried shallots were a nice complement. It was a terrific addition to our Thanksgiving meal.
