Instead of the 'traditional' sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving, this is what our Southern family has had on the table for at least 3 generations. Great Aunt Margie (pronounced MAH-gee) was born in 1902.

This pone was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was baked for a shorter amount of time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the pecans. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pone turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato dishes, but this pone changed my mind. It was surprisingly light and flavorful.

Aunt Margie's Sweet Potato Pone was a delight! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the flavor was simply divine. The hint of cinnamon and nutmeg added a touch of warmth and spice that perfectly complemented the natural sweetness of the sweet potato
