I loved these sweet potatoes!

This is AMAZING! For personal preference, I used boiled fresh sweet potatoes and cut the sugar a bit by reducing the brown sugar in the topping to 3/4 cup and the sugar in the potato to 1/4 cup. (Still a very sweet dish)!

AMAZING!!! A must at our family christmas dinner. instead of using canned, i peel and boil enough sweet potatoes to make 8-10 cups mashed.

This looks fabulous and tastes awesome. The cranberries add a sweet, tangy surprise and the pretzel rods, pecans, and brown sugar all add to the taste as well as presentation. A real winner that guests rave about and ask for the recipe!
