i made this for my family's christmas dinner a couple years ago and everyone loved it and requested recipe. i boil and mash the sweet potato instead of using canned ones, however, i doubled the sweet potato to 5lbs but didn't double rest of ingredients - to cut down the sweetness. This one is an A+

I commented before, but I wanted to write that I didn't use evaporated milk last time I prepared it, and it still tasted great.

We loved the tart and sweet flavors in this dish. I made just half the topping and used half the butter and sugar called for in the potatoes. It is healthier now and still tastes great!

I agree with Imwalker, this is a blue ribbon winner. We love cranberries, but I used canned whole cranberry relish and only 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Yummy, Yummy!

This is a blue ribbon recipe that I plan to make for every holiday meal. I got plenty of compliments on this one. I also omitted the cranberries.

These are delicious. We are not cranberry fans so we omitted them when making this. It is more like dessert than a vegetable side dish.
