I adore sweet potatoes.

Yet for some reason, I have never been a fan of the traditional marshmallow-topped sweet potato dish most cooks serve around the holidays.

They are usually too sweet and too mushy for my taste.

Therefore every holiday season I make a point to create some sort of untraditional sweet potato dish my family will love…

Hoping they will be so thrilled with what I make, no one will be angry I skipped the marshmallows. *wink*

Maple Glazed Prosciutto Wrapped Sweet Potatoes make a marvelous modernized alternative for classic sweet potato casserole.

They have a touch of sweetness, yet it is balanced by a luxurious fatty note from the prosciutto di Parma.
