I have been making these for about 5 years now for Thanksgiving AND Christmas... It is always requested! Must use the Heavy Cream... worth the extra calories! Yummmmmm!!!!! I was never a fan of sweet potatoes until I made this dish... it sounded delish, and went over VERY well. It's now a staple at our family gatherings!

My mother passed away a year ago so this past Thanksgiving was turn to do it all on my own. I decided to turn to the tried and true\, Paula Deen, for my sweet potato recipe. I chose this recipe but when I made the dish, I erroneously added the topping ingredients to the base recipe. I thought, "uh oh - well, what the heck!" So I made another batch of topping to add on top, baked it and can i tell you when I say it was the star of the show - I mean EVERYONE licked their chops for more! I even had to share the recipe, along with my error, with a friend for her to share at her family gathering at Christmas! DELISH!!!! and if you mess up - go with it, it might just be a huge success!!! Thanks Paula!!

This was the greatest sweet potato bake ever. I doubled the recipe and used less sugar but it was still the best thing on the menu for Thanksgiving. My entire family thanks you for the great recipe. Look forward to the next one I try. Happy Holidays
