    I love this recipe, and have been using it now for 3 years! Never disappointed to see the pot empty! It also frees up the stove/oven for the rest of the preparations! My kids are the biggest critics and they give it two thumbs way up!

    The layer of potatoes on top are still a little hard. When the sugars melted down it left that top layer high and dry. I basted them and extended the crock time a little.

    Potatoes were very good.

    I am tempted to use 2 tablespoons of corn starch next time to make the coating just a little thicker.

    I've always preferred candied yams over the sweet potato casseroles. But that's "juse me".
