Years and years ago I was given this sweet potato recipe from a neighbor {whom I no longer live nearby, but we keep in touch} and every year at Thanksgiving I pull out my tattered and stained recipe card to make this dish. I have never, over the course of 10 years, found a better recipe for sweet potatoes than this one. It is the perfect accompaniment to turkey and ham. If I could somehow turn it into a facial scrub and sell it, I would. This dish smells heavenly. And it tastes, well it tastes like something from the past. You know, when people made real food.
Ingredients
3 cups sweet potato puree or a 32 oz can sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter {yes, everything is better with butter}
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat sweet potatoes {and juice if you are using canned} in pan until boiling. Turn off heat, add butter, sugar, salt, eggs, milk and vanilla and combine. Pour mixture into a buttered 9″ baking dish.
For the topping, combine the brown sugar and butter and place in a microwave to soften {about 30 seconds}. Add remaining ingredients and combine. Sprinkle topping over sweet potato mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
