This recipe calls for grated sweet potatoes. A food processor could also be used for the potatoes. Excellent as a holiday side dish. Try it out this Thanksgiving and let me know what you think.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This sweet potato side dish is destined to be on your Thanksgiving table. This elevated version of a sweet potato casserole may not win a beauty contest, but it's a different way to prepare sweet potatoes during the holidays. The sweet potatoes are tender, and the consistency is similar to a pudding. We loved the addition of nuts for crunch and used pecans. Best of all, it's easy to prepare, which is essential during the holidays.
