You must find local sweet potatoes. They are especially delicious this time of year. You MUST bake them in a conventional oven, no Not a microwave. Bake at 400 degrees until fork tender. You want them very tender because you will be mashing them. Look at the picture. It may look messy to you but that juice that has caramelized on the pan is pure sweetness and that is what you hope for.
I always wondered why they called this dish a pudding. They all did, so guess that is what it was. To me a pudding was something that was more, well you know like pudding. This dish bakes up and when cooled can be sliced. I had forgotten just how much I love it. I will make it more often now.
I hope you will like it too.
