Cooks Note: Happy Thanksgiving! If you are anything like me, you know you are having turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, but what other sides should you make? Should you go with the standard sweet potatoes? Or change it up a bit? I think this is perfect. These have the sweetness of the sweet potatoes, but with a little different look and texture. These are a simple side that won't take too much time to prep so you have more time for the real time sucker, the turkey. GOBBLE GOBBLE!!
