Sweet Potato Puff

What’s your favorite way to eat sweet potatoes? Mine is sliced into wedges and sprinkled liberally with brown sugar and butter. And I mean, liberally!

But you can’t eat sweet potatoes that way all the time and so I searched around for this recipe. This way was rather nice - I think it might have a similar consistency to a sweet potato pie. It’s only missing a crust. The recipe called for sugar but I think sweet potatoes are sweet enough so I didn’t add any. It had a sort of fluffy texture, which I think might be where the “puff” comes from.

Overall, pretty good and tastes even better reheated (in an oven!) but I like the baked-wedges way much better.
