Sweet, sweet potatoes

[weepingnaiad.livejournal.com]

This recipe actually got my mom to eat sweet potatoes. She always made them for the rest of us, but would never eat them. I believe I increased this from 3 c. potatoes to 4 c. as it was just a 'bit' sweet for the amount of potatoes. The topping caramelizes a bit if you cook it long enough, so I usually cook it longer than the 20 minutes.
