This week I've been testing out some potential new side dishes for our holiday celebrations. First up were these Pretzel Topped Sweet Potatoes from Taste of Home. I did adapt the recipe slightly based on what I had on hand, which was mini pretzel twists and dried cranberries.
I also chose to bake the mixture in ramekins to make individual servings rather than family style, I like how people can just grab one (or two) and not have to dish out of a bigger vessel. Plus it insures an equal amount of the delicious topping for everyone. Thank you so much to Sue M. for sharing her amazing recipe!
