This came from a friend in the U.P. of Michigan and now our relations insist it be made with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and any other excuse to have a big meal -- goes great with turkey, ham, lamb, whatever...

No Longer Just One Recipe

Sweet potatoes and yams have made a certain renaissance the last couple of years, after being confined in the North to "Candied Yams With Marshmallows" and Sweet Potato Pie in the South. Completely unrelated to this post, we had baked sweet potatoes last night with salmon loaf. I eat the skins, too, Mrs. Dr. Phil does not. To each their own.
