TIPS FOR MAKING SWEET POTATOES:

If you’ve never cut sweet potatoes before, you may be surprised how difficult they can be to cut. So, it’s really important you have a good, sharp knife to slice them with. They don’t cut as easily as russet potatoes. Want them to be a bit sweeter? Try adding a touch of brown sugar to the honey/cinnamon mixture.

    1. I would guess about a generous half a cup. However, I always tell everyone, if you are using the nutritional information because you need it for health or diet purposes, please use your own trusted nutritional calculators so you can get an exact amount.

      Mary. Left Overs? Not a chance.at our home. I love honey, cinnamon, Sweet Taters & Yams. This recipe is so good. Put a little in a zip lock bag in the freezer maybe for a week and give it a try. Regular spuds do not freeze well but these might. Good Luck
