Not sure what happened but I was not as pleased with this recipe as the others who commented. The cornflakes were chewy instead of the crunchy that I expected. I will make it again with a different topping.

A little too much sugar and butter for me, but everyone who tasted it really enjoyed it!

Yummy! I have made this twice now. Family loved it. One time was with yams and it tasted like a dessert.

Starting making this a couple years ago and is very good. Hubby likes topping more than I, so only do the topping on 1/2. Also, I learned the 1st time to use a larger pan. Probably because I tend to use more potatoes. Yes, I will make again this year!

My husband raved about this recipe. I am not a fan of sweet potatoes, but I also found this to be quite good. I think I used a deeper dish than what I should have - I had to bake it about 10 minutes longer than the recipe said.

Very good!! We changed the topping though to one with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter & dried oats so it was a nice crumble--- the only thing was that it was a tad bit dry so I may need to add some other wet ingredient...
