Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider mashing the sweet potatoes instead of mixing them whole. You can substitute butter for margarine if preferred, and brown sugar can replace white sugar for a deeper flavor. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the sweetness, giving it a cozy touch that complements the dish well.
