  • “Absolutely love it!This is the best sweet potato dish I’ve ever had.I like the mix of sweet and regular potatoes to cut down on heavy sweet potato taste, and the garlic and rosemary are perfect coompliments.We couldn’t stop eating them. I’ll make this one all the time, and have already decided it will be a yearly addition to our Thanksgiving table.I made them using soy milk, Smart Balance margarine, and soy parmesan with excellent results.A thousand thanks for sharing this little gem!”

  • “I made this recipe, and divided it into 2 pans.I cooked one and froze the other.It was a huge hit with my husband and 2 kids!A few months later, I took out the frozen food to see how it would fare…It didn’t take long to thaw, and I baked it at 350 for 40 min. as the recipe reads.It was just as delicious as the first time we ate it, maybe even more so!”

  • “yumm-o. I made this with the beef and noodles recipe (minus the noodles) out of the better homes and gardens cookbook. So good.”

  • “This was delicious! I thought my kids might not like it but we all loved it.”

  • “This is really tasty and a nice alternative to the usually overly sweet sweet potatoes.I made this for a work potluck and it got good reviews.Several people asked me what the great topping was- and it’s just parmesan- but I guess it is unexpected.Thanks for posting, this was a fun recipe to try.”

  • “Good recipe. I think I might have used a little more sweet potato than regular potato because it was a little too sweet for me. It was also probably the first time in my life eating sweet potato so it’ll take some getting used to. In the end, I liked it and so did DH, but we both agreed it was a little on the sweet side (my fault). Will try to remember to update next time I make it [with less sweet potatoes] =)”

  • “Outstanding! I reduced the recipe to 3 servings using 1 medium sweet potato and 1 medium baking potato. I used 2 cloves of garlic which were peeled and tossed in with the potatoes. In place of butter, I used a healthy spread. I made this ahead of time, refrigerated and placed in the oven at dinner time. Definately plan to keep this recipe close at hand.”

  • “Some aromas in this mash, wonderful! I actually made it with all baking potatoes and we loved it, but will try with yams as well. I put the rosemary in the bowl with garlic and oil to really get the flavors infused, and they did! I served this as a mash, did not bother to put it in oven, there really was no need.”

  • “Absolutely gorgeous. I made this for the family Thanksgiving this year, and every single person there had seconds. I mixed everything the night before, and then put the pan in to heat the next day as suggested and it turned out beautiful. I also used the Microwave Roasted Garlic recipe (#78426) instead of roasting the garlic in the oven, which saved time and allowed me to multi-task. One more thing- due to mislabelling at the supermarket, I ended up with both yams and sweet potatoes, so I used 1/3 yams, 1/3 russet potatoes, and 1/3 sweet potatoes. Scrumptious!”

  • “I made this tonight to go with our BBQ dinner.It was wonderful!!!!My husband was 100% sure that he wouldn’t ever like sweet potatoes.I fooled him and told them that it was a potato casserole.As soon as he announced that he loved it I let him know that it was sweet potatoes and regular potatoes!!Thanks for the great recipe!!We will definately make this again!!!!”
