I usually do sweet potatoes and pineapple. Looking forward to trying this combination.

Yum! Let us know how you like this combo. - Nicole

Am diabetic, could use calorie counts :)
Melissa says
Does the recipe freeze? Has anybody tried to freeze this? Thanks!
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
Hi there. You can freeze it. The texture will be somewhat different where reheated.
Miranda says
So good! Added honey and cinnamon on top. My 3 year old are it up!
Valerie says
I think it is a regional thing. Our sweet potatoes in Hawaii are purple.
Helen says
Just wondering why I often see yams (which have the orange color) called sweet potatoes (which are quite white). The picture here looks like yams to me. Is it just a regional naming thing?
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
Hi Helen. The confusion is widespread: http://www.ncsweetpotatoes.com/sweet-potatoes-101/difference-between-yam-and-sweet-potato/. ;)

Added cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans. Delicious! !
Jen says
This was sooo good and we don't even like sweet potatoes! I did add cinnamon before serving. Great as a side or even as a dessert.
Sara says
I make a similar baked dish. I layer sweet potatoes, raisins and/or craisins, apples and pecans. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg and a little raw sugar. Then dot with margarine/butter. Cover with foil, and depending on what else is in the oven, bake at any temperature from 300-400F, until the sweet potatoes and apples are soft, usually 30-60 minutes. My kids will eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They will even happily eat this as dessert! Everybody loves it! Even people who swear they HATE sweet potatoes have tried it and then asked for the recipe.
Carol says
I just made this, only I didn't have apple juice, so I squeezed the juice of a lemon and the juice of an orange instead. Oh my goodness it was delicious! I paired it with the crock pot chicken that I had leftover and some green beans I had steamed. Perfect dinner for being snowed in.
Thanks!
Kelsey says
We've made these for camping for years--Sweet Potato Hobo Meals! Wrap them up in foil, pop them in the ashes, and have a wonderful dinner. I like them with coconut oil, cinnamon, and dried cranberries! Delish!
Ali says
Love this dish made with coconut oil and roasted (although summer might not be the best time to roast this one...) with cinnamon and ginger on top. Thanks for reminding me of this favorite!
Natalie says
This sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it. I first came across your site about a week ago and I'm addicted! Love everything about it and I'm getting such great ideas from it. Have tried a bunch of your recipes already. Even getting the kids to eat things they normally wouldn't! Thanks for such an amazing site! :)
Jennifer says
Sandra, please let us know how the coconut oil works as a butter replacement. I like to limit our butter intake.
Sandra says
I will use coconut oil instead of butter since I'm dairy free, but it sounds sooo yummy!
Shiy says
Sweeples.
That is what you should name them.
Amanda says
We are ready to fully plunge onto this journey, have been able to weeks 1-3 without a problem and it's week 4 oddly enough we are have had roadblocks. So with that said, the hubby is taking the kids out of town for the weekend so it will give me time to clean out the pantry, refrigerator, etc so we are ready to start it for the betterment of our family's health.
Patti says
I know this is an old post, but if you have anyone wading through old posts, they might be interested...
I make something similar and it's great with ground ginger.
Best Man Funny Speeches says
I think that is one of the so much vital information for me. And i'm satisfied studying your article. But wanna observation on some basic issues, The web site style is ideal, the articles is in point of fact great : D. Excellent process, cheers
Nook tablet coupon says
It's really a great and helpful piece of information. I'm glad that you shared this helpful info with us. Please stay us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
Wendy says
My mom used to make this dish every Thanksgiving. It's always been one of my favorites. She'd add cinammon, and I love the use of apple juice instead of a touch of sugar.
Ashley says
I think that a cute name is Sweet Potapples! ;0)
Christine says
This was absolutely delicious! I've seen a similar recipe before, but it is baked in the oven instead of skillet-baked. We sprinkled a little cinnamon over them as well. This is an easy weeknight side, but could also be dressed up a little for a holiday meal side (i.e. add some marshmallows on top (homemade, of course))! Thanks for your great recipes!
Om Amna says
I keep getting under-ripe pears that never soften and to stop wasting them I have done something similar to this recipe with them and have also roasted them along with potatoes, red onions, carrots, parsnips in the oven and they have a yummy flavor, its our most common side dish. Thanks for the great recipes on this whole site,reading from DUBAI, UAE
Tara says
This was so incredibly yummy and so easy. I did add a sprinkling of cinnamon. This recipe is a keeper!!! THANK YOU!!
Melissa says
Looks fantastic, Lisa!
Do you find your tastes changing even more now that you're eating on a budget and therefore can't always use ingredients that you would normally have used in your meals? Or, do you find yourself using new ingredients and being pleasantly surprised by new flavors because of the budget? Or both? (Or neither? Sorry for all the questions heehee!)
100 Days of Real Food says
Hello there! I haven't really noticed a big difference in tastes/preferences as it relates to the budget yet...but that could just be because it is too early in the project for that to happen yet. As far as new things go we are definitely forced to try new (and cheap) dishes and some definitely turn out surprisingly better than others!
Leigh Anne says
Awesome...Thanks so much for posting!
The Table of Promise says
I just peeled our sweet potatoes now to prep for tonight's dinner! I can't wait. The kids love apples but have been trepedacious about sweet potatoes (I know, it's weird). I am banking that they will love this now. I was told my some of my reader that you can do the same thing with squashes too.
Amy says
I'll have to try this. My kids are so negative about sweet potatoes. Even when covered in a crusty sugary crust(very unhealthy) they think it's "Dis-custing!" I keep trying different ways. Even the baby seems to be picking up on the vibes... sheesh!
Tara says
Hrmmmm
Maybe add some toasted walnuts after you plate it up
This sounds yummy! So simple but delicious sounding.
100 Days of Real Food says
Toasted nuts would be a great addition!!
