MY REVIEW
"This is an excellent recipe, one that I have shared many times. I have also added a small can of crushed pineapple (drained) to the potatoes for some added flavor. On occasion, I also add some chopped pecans to the topping."
"Excellent recipe! However, I omitted the butter crackers in the topping due to family preferences. It was a big hit at Thanksgiving dinner. I will definitely keep this in my recipe files."
"Loved this dish and easy to make!"
"I really enjoyed this! it was easy to make, especially compared with another recipe i had, it tasted amazing. i did take the advice of other reviewers about it being too sweet so i used 1/4 cup sugar and also made the brown sugar for the topping1/4 cup. it was amazing. going to do it for our Thanksgiving dinner this year"
"Very good! I will make this again. Very quick and easy to make using the canned potatoes."
"too sweet, not impressed"
"This is my new go-to recipe for sweet potatoes. It's so scrumptious! Love it! Love it! Love it! (And so do all my dinner guests!)"
"This is a very tasty dish. I think it is quite sweet. Next time I would cut back on the sugar. I used fresh sweet potatoes and cut them up and boiled them. Then followed the recipe. It was wonderful for Thanksgiving dinner. Will make it again."
"I tried this on the holiday and really liked it. I will make it again next year."
"Delicious! This has become my new holiday sweet potato dish. The kids liked this one even more than the classic one with marshmallows on top!"
