My mother passed away a year ago so this past Thanksgiving was turn to do it all on my own. I decided to turn to the tried and true\, Paula Deen, for my sweet potato recipe. I chose this recipe but when I made the dish, I erroneously added the topping ingredients to the base recipe. I thought, "uh oh - well, what the heck!" So I made another batch of topping to add on top, baked it and can i tell you when I say it was the star of the show - I mean EVERYONE licked their chops for more! I even had to share the recipe, along with my error, with a friend for her to share at her family gathering at Christmas! DELISH!!!! and if you mess up - go with it, it might just be a huge success!!! Thanks Paula!!
