So easy & delicious. I made this dish per the recipe with a few minor changes due to what I had on hand. I used skim milk instead of heavy cream. I did not have maple extract. I did not have marshmallows on hand. And I did not add salt. I kept the diced sweet potatoes in the crock pot on high for 4 hours because they did not seem to be cooking quick enough on low. Overall this recipe is super delicious. I will definitely keep it on my rotation!
