My Cuban family loves the traditional flavors I prepare for Thanksgiving. You can always find yummy sweet potatoes on our Thanksgiving table because they go so well with pork or turkey. Normally, sweet potatoes are served sweet with cinnamon, butter and marshmallows. However, today I want to prepare them as a savory option so I can add the traditional seasoning we love so much. I invite you to try this delicious Thanksgiving recipe this year.
