My Favorite Sweet Potato Recipe
Every holiday, for as long as I can remember, my aunt has always made her sweet potatoes. And every year my sister and I always fight over who is going to get the last little bit (somehow she usually win!) It has always been one of my favorite things about the holiday. They are that good! A few years ago I finally got her sweet potato recipe and I have been making them every chance I get ever since. It's really easy to make them it just takes a little time. But it is well worth it!
