This recipe was a bit too oily for my liking. I used less oil than the recipe called for and it was still too greasy.

The sweet potatoes took longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add extra water and cook it for an additional 10 minutes.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and chili powder to give it more flavor.
