Here in the south, I do one of the most accursed things.. Salt, Pepper, and Butter on a Sweet Potato instead of marshmallow and brown sugar (which I can’t stand).
Heretic!
Good grief! That’s’ almost as bad as putting sugar on grits (those Alabamans don’t know nuthin!) ;o)
I do the same thing, but come Thanksgiving I have to do the candied yams. I boil them with skins on, cool them, take skins off, and slice them up in a pan with lots of butter, dark brown sugar, and a little orange juice. Continue to cook them, turning them until sauce has reduced and yams are coated. Really goody, good, good!
