Review:

I so appreciate my friend, Jane, for giving me the recipe for the Onion Roasted Sweet Potatoes. I know that I would have never ventured outside of my comfort zone had she not sent it to me. Scott and I enjoyed the potatoes but, sadly, my kids did not. Of course, if you have read some of the other reviews you know that it is really hit or miss with the kids. I'm really not sure if I made the potatoes correclty as, like I said earlier, I have never cooked with them before. Also, I honestly don't know if there is a difference in yams or sweet potatoes (for some reason I thought that they were the same thing) so I'm not sure if I peeled down far enough or not. I wish that the potatoes would have been a little bit firmer but I might have left them in the oven too long. Either way, Scott ended up having 2 servings of the potatoes so I was glad that he enjoyed the change as much as I did.
