For a long time, I worked with a fabulous group of people. One of my favorite things was holiday potluck lunches. This recipe was shared with me years ago. I made a couple of minor adjustments to the original recipe. It has been a family favorite ever since. Even those that swear they don’t like sweet potatoes (ahem, Tracy) can’t get enough of these!
This would be a great addition to your (any day is a good day) holiday spread! ~Kathy
