I actually came up with this recipe while trying to create a sweet potato dish for our baby girl, Kaia. She just loves sweet potatoes and it's necessary to create a variety of dishes using them. I do use traditional sweet potatoes, not yams. It wasn't until I began creating these dishes, using sweet potato, before I learned that there was actually a sweet potato, other than a yam. Now we all have grown to love and eat sweet potatoes quite often. I will be making this as a side dish for Thanksgiving this year.
