Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic Recipe {Thanksgiving}

This Saturday evening’s Thanksgiving recipe, Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic, is one we discovered on AllRecipes.com last year.Â It’s delicious and is really more like a dessert than a side, because of all the sugar in it.

We actually leave out the white sugar, since it already has brown sugar in it, and it is sweet enough for us.Â Due to a dairy sensitivity, we also substitute rice milk for the regular milk.

I peel and boil the sweet potatoes instead of baking them.Â The recipe calls for 5 sweet potatoes, but this really depends on the size of the sweet potato.Â I use 3 large or 5 medium sweet potatoes.

Enjoy.
