Thanks, Jude! I hope all is well with you.

Liz,

I’m so happy you found us tucked away in our little corner of the world. Welcome home!

Good luck with your studies. I hope you can find your way down South. We would love to have you. 🙂

Victoria,

I’ve never used the slow-cooker for sweet potatoes but that is a grand idea! I think cooking the sweet potatoes low and slow gives the sugars more of a chance to develop. I will definitely use your method for now on for baked sweet potatoes. You are correct that it wouldn’t work for Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes because the skins would be too soft. Thank you so much for sharing this great tip!

You’re sweet words mean more to me than you’ll ever know.

Welcome home!

This recipe sounds great. Have you ever cooked sweet potatoes in the crock pot? It’s super easy: just wrap them in foil and put on low in the morning and they’re done by dinner time. I don’t think they’d work like that for your recipe because they’re more steamed vs. baked and the skin doesn’t crisp up, but it’s a lifesaver for working girls who like sweet potatoes but don’t have the time to bake them up at night.

I really love this blog – I found you through Pinterest but I keep coming back to check out other recipes and read your stories. The stories you add to your recipes are so wonderful. They really bring your recipes to life and are so delightful to read. I chuckled at this one and your past aversion to Sweet Potatoes. I had a similar experience as a child with a cheese omelette on a long road trip. I promise it was years before I could eat the combination of eggs and cheddar cheese in any form. Even now some 20 years later my stomach gets a little rumbly at the thought.

Have a great day!

How horrible! I couldn’t imagine going years and not eating peach cobbler. Gosh, thank heavens you’re over that. Have you read my story about peaches? Here’s the link: http://wp.me/p1lazE-pT

Thanks for reading and commenting, Shannon! 🙂

Tipper,

Thanks for the comment. I relived the whole salt things as I wrote the story. Man, I was sick!

We all get so confused about sweet potatoes vs yams. I had what was called a yam in Barbados once. I’m not sure it was really a yam. So, my impression is that the sweet potato vs yam confusion spans the globe. It’s not just us!

Hi Leigh,

Welcome to Syrup and Biscuits! I hope you visit us again. Lucky you with growing your own sweet potatoes. I garden but have not tried sweet potatoes yet. Maybe I’ll do that in the spring. Do you plant yours in the ground? Several people here plant them in ice chests. 🙂

Darlene,

Sweet Potato Pies are wonderful! They taste very similar to Pumpkin Pies. 🙂

Jean,

If the crumble topping isn’t getting browned and the potatoes are thoroughly heated , you might want to broil them for a tad bit.

I have a recipe with that very topping….and I think your idea is better!
Thank you!

Jean,

This is a recipe that I developed. You could put a marshmallow topper on the potatoes or make a crumble out of brown sugar, flour, pecans cinnamon and butter. I kept from making the filling too sweet so you could had some honey or cinnamon sugar or even a topper if you’d like. I make a crumble topping for my sweet potato casserole. I hope you and your friends enjoy this great sweet potato dish. 🙂
