Sweet Potato Casserole

4 sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced, and boiled
½ c. brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. cloves
½ tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. allspice
1 can condensed milk (or evaporated milk)
½ c. nuts, chopped
½ c. brown sugar for topping

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mash potatoes, and mix with sugar and eggs.
  • Add spices and thoroughly blend.
  • Add canned milk. Condensed milk will make it very rich and sweet. Evaporated milk will make it creamy and slightly sweet.
  • Spoon into oven-proof casserole dish.
  • Mix chopped nuts and sugar together and sprinkle on top of the casserole.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.

    Altering the spices will change the flavor slightly, according to desired taste. Some people add marshmallows or marshmallow cream to this recipe instead of brown sugar and top it with marshmallows, but I removed it from my cooking when Carmen developed an allergy to marshmallows. This is very good without marshmallows. You can also substitute granulated sugar for the brown sugar, or use Karo syrup or other sweetener. There are several ways of making this sweet. You can also use a sugar substitute.
