Source of Recipe


The Williamsburg Cookbook, 3rd edition, 1978






List of Ingredients



• 3 lbs. sweet potatoes*
  
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed, divided
  
• 3 Tbl. butter
  
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  
• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1 cup milk
  






Instructions



1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
   
   
2. Grease a 1 1/2 quart casserole.
   
   
3. Cook sweet potatoes in boiling salted water until done; drain, peel and mash them.
   
   
4. Stir all of the remaining ingredients except 2 Tbl of sugar.
   
   
5. Turn the mixture into the prepared casserole and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
   
   
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minuts.* I have used a 2 lb. 8 oz. can of sweet potatoes, drained, instead of boiling my own sweet potatoes. It works well.
