    Wow! These sweet potatoes are so delicious. First time making them! They shrink down to about half of what you originally put in. They were crazy sweet! Next time I’m going to half the sauce as my potatoes were completely drenched in sauce and I had to strain some of the sauce out after they were cooked. Delicious recipe.
