[Magdalen] Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.

[Jay Weigel]

Eric F.+ had a recipe for sweet potatoes au gratin or parmesan or something
that sounded really good. I always wanted to try it but my late ex had a
serious hate for sweet potatoes in any form. S/O does not, but of course I
can't find the recipe now. And Eric is dealing with a lot of stuff now so I
don't feel I can ask him. Anyone else have the recipe?
