It looks a little like sweet potato casserole, smells a lot like it and the tastes is spot on. But if it isn’t actually that Thanksgiving favorite, what is it? This pan of sweet potato squares is a true southern-style dessert – with a twist. As the traditional recipe goes, cinnamon is featured to bring out the warmth and sweetness of the potatoes. The catch? There’s no butter, no added sugar and no half and half or heavy cream.
