This was good, but the sweet potatoes were beyond tender and more like mush! I would recommend reducing the cooking time for the potatoes. The timing was about right for the onions. It just depends on your personal taste. Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous. I used canola oil instead of butter and added a cayenne seasoning.
