I had leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving and this recipe was born.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

What to do with extra sweet potatoes? Make this fantastic strudel! It's simple to throw together and bakes beautifully. Using a pre-made crust means it's a cinch to make. Once baked, it's very impressive. It's filled with cinnamon and brown sugar flavors with some crunch from chopped pecans. A great way to reinvent holiday leftovers.
