My Ma used to make something called sweet potato crunch every holiday. Everybody in my family loved it! We couldn’t wait to eat it up!
When I married into my own family, I started making sweet potato crunch every holiday. Since my new family members were a bunch of yankees, they didn’t quite have a taste for sweet potatoes with pecans, like we did. So, I would end up eating the whole thing myself. I didn’t mind at all.
Then, when I went paleo, I set about to replicate Ma’s sweet potato crunch, with paleo friendly ingredients. This recipe is the result of my efforts. And, man did it turn out good. In fact, I think I like this version better.
