This is my go to recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is always the side dish that everyone likes the best! I always double the recipe and serve in a 9×13 pan. I pierce the sweet potatoes, rub them in olive oil, add plenty of salt and bake for 1 hr at 375. From there I follow the recipe exactly and always have perfectly cooked sweet potatoes— easy to hand mix and not stingy. I do a thin layer of topping and these never seem too sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Great recipe. I made it in ramekins. I actually used three medium sized sweet potatoes. I used heavy cream and used more than called for. I just kept adding until it reached the consistency I wanted. I did add a little sugar to the potato mixture to taste. The topping was enough for me to make the recipe twice during Thanksgiving this year. It was loved by all. It is definitely a keeper; a recipe I will do again and again.
