Buttery sweet potatoes seasoned with brown sugar and nutmeg.ย ย  This delicious dessert or side dish pairs well with cabbage and Smoky Collard Greens.

The easy recipe is from my imagination.ย  I’ve made this dish for years without measuring ingredients.

I was inspired to measure and create a formal recipe after making some for my dear aunt who LOVES sweet potatoes.ย  We both like ’em for dessert or as a side dish with collard greens!
