I would not recommend this recipe. The sweet potatoes were bland and the sauce was too runny.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit too strong for my taste and the sweet potatoes were a little too mushy.

The sweet potatoes were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try roasting the sweet potatoes next time instead of boiling them.

These sweet potatoes were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sweet potatoes turned out perfectly. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily adjustable.
