Sweet potatoes....It just doesn't seem like Thanksgiving dinner without them. I've tweeked our family favorite to the point that everyone in our house LOVES my way of presenting them for Thanksgiving. I posted the recipe I use last year (here it is).
My friends at Gooseberry Patch shared ~ Sweet Potatoes Two Ways ~ And I thought I'd pass those recipes along to my readers. Do you serve sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving and if you do, how are you doing them?
