Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic

这是和同事potluck时，一美国同事做的。大家非常爱吃，这是她发给大家的做法。我发现即使不放 vanilla extract，ground cinnamon 和 heavy cream，味道也差别不大。和朋友聚餐时，我做过几次，每次都非常受欢迎。这次感恩节，大家点名要再吃一次。遗憾的是，我没有拍照片，没法在这里给大家看看。

I have peeled and cooked in the microwave, and also boiled the sweet potatoes. They taste the same no matter how you cook them.
