I am not a big fan of canned sweet potatoes or yams drenched in sugar and topped with marshmallows. I prefer to save my dessert for after the meal. These sweet potatoes are slightly sweet and the tang from the lemon makes them a nice compliment to an otherwise heavy meal like Thanksgiving.

If you are cooking them for a holiday meal, you can peel and slice the potatoes and lemon earlier in the day and cook it while the main course is resting.
