Caro Hodgin says:

I used all-purpose flour and this recipe worked like a charm. so tasty. more like cheesy potatoes but i loved it!

Jen the Mighty says:

Let's be honest; the real star of mac and cheese is the cheese sauce, and this sauce can't be beat! I used a combination of coconut flour and cornstarch to get it bound and thickened, and with a bit of nutmeg and cayenne this sauce really steals the show. I love the color that the sweet potato brings. Beautiful and delicious.

Tal Levitas says:

This just didn't work. Sweet potatoes didn't swap well for noodles. I also couldn't get the texture right. Maybe adding more sweet potatoes will make it better.
