Thanksgiving Sweet Potatoes

This recipe perverts the healthy goodness of the remarkable sweet potato.  It’s not even remotely good-for-you.  This is often what’s popular (and expected) during the holidays at our potluck family get-togethers.  If your extended family pays attention to the ol’ waistline, feel free to substitute Splenda brown sugar and margarine.
