This stuff is delicious but I use dark brown sugar (I never use light brown sugar for anything. What the hell is the point of doing that??).  You gotta try this, it's even better if you add red onion or yellow onion fried crispy in butter first.  A bit like German Plachinda.  YUM!

I like to make boiled sweet potatoes and skin them while they are warm, mash them and add butter and salt and pepper and a touch of cinnamon and eat it like a baked potato.  When you are taking the peeling off, take off also the soft inner layer right under the skin; it's ok to eat it but they are just easier to manage without that soft layer on them.
