Mama’s Famous Sweet Potato Casserole

Bake 8 large sweet potatoes in the oven for one hour at 350 degrees. Be sure to lather the skins in olive oil before baking so the skins will slip right off. Let the potatoes cool then peel the skins and mash the potatoes in a big bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 2 cups of evaporated milk and 3 eggs. Add 1 cup of melted butter. Mix all the ingredients with a mixer until you have a smooth liquid texture.

Pour the liquid mix over the mashed potatoes. Add raisins as desired. Stir.

Pour your masterpiece into a buttered casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes or until it’s firm in the middle. Remove from oven. Add an entire bag of miniature marshmallows on top of the casserole. Put the casserole back in the oven to brown the marshmallows. Be very careful not to burn the marshmallows. Remove form oven and enjoy immediately.

Note: If you are taking this dish to someone’s house do not do the marshmallows at home. Instead, add them at the last minute and brown them in their oven right before serving.


My Healthier Version

Follow the same instructions as above but use the following substitutions:

-Instead of Butter use Soy Margarine (Available at health food stores)
-Instead of 2 cups of Sugar use 2 Cups of Sucanut. (Available at health food stores)
-Instead of 2 cups of evaporated milk, use 2 cups of plain Soymilk
-Instead of 3 eggs use 5 egg whites and only 1 yolk.
-Instead of buttering the casserole dish, use canola oil cooking spray
-Instead of Marshmallows…do without. This is no fun. I’m not always loyal to this step.
