Over the next several weeks I will be sharing mostly recipes that are traditionally served in the Amish community for the holidays. This one is a local favorite and sure to please everyone at your holiday gathering. The only thing better than the taste is how easy it is to prepare.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 quart (4 cups) sweet potatoes (cooked, drained, mashed & slightly cooled)
2 eggs beaten
1/3 cup softened butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Heat, cook, drain and allow to cool sweet potatoes. You can buy the already cooked sweet potatoes in a can, which will save you time, but may cost a bit more money. Add sugar, eggs (beaten) butter (softened), evaporated milk and vanilla to mashed sweet potatoes. Stir till all ingredients are well blended together. Spoon evenly into a greased casserole dish. Prepare topping:
TOPPING:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (your choice) I use pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup flour
Mix flour and brown sugar, add melted butter and mix with a fork till crumbly, add chopped nuts. Sprinkle crumbles on top of the sweet potatoes.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool a bit and serve warm.
