Dads Sweet Potatoes

My Dad is in charge of the sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm not a sweet potato lover, but, everyone loves them and there is never any leftover. He uses canned sweet potatoes, and, since everything else they make is from scratch, I assume it's a time-saver, and that he has found that he can't tell the difference. Read more (I remember him using fresh sweet potatoes when I was young). You could do either. See less
