There have been a few Thanksgivings I spent away from home, and the greatest disappointment eating somewhere besides my mom's has always been the sweet potatoes. Some are better than others (and those that involve marshmallows should not exist), but none are as good as my mother's.
Not that Mom can take credit; she merely uses a particularly good recipe, namely the one from the King's Arms Tavern in Williamsburg.
And I was able to find that same recipe online (saving me a trip downstairs to look it up in my copy of The Williamsburg Cookbook). The potatoes are on the second page...and by the way, the peanut soup and the ham relish are really good, too.
