It ain't your mama's sweet potato casserole! Even people who say they don't like sweet potatoes usually reach for a second helping.
Growing up I thought I didn't like them, but that's because I had only seen them served plain or with marshmallows on top. Gag me.
Now, I love them, and if I have the time, I like to make them like this.
(Be careful giving it to toddlers, it can be like crack to them, it's so good. Some adults, too.)
3 pounds sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and cubed
1/3 cup low fat milk
1 egg
2 & 1/2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon sugar (half cinn/half sugar)
Boil sweet potatoes for 30 minutes or until tender; drain. Beat with all of the remaining ingredients except cinnamon sugar until smooth. Spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with nonstick spray, put in puree. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
(Some enjoy it with a small pat of butter melted on to their serving, but it's fab all on it's own too!)
