Coconut-Pecan Sweet Potatoes
While living with my elderly grandparents, I tried my best to prepare things my grandfather would eat. Basically, he'd quit eating and just decided that he would give up on living. He loved sweet potatoes and I fixed them at least three times a week, trying out different ways to serve them. While rummaging through the cabinets, I came across a can of coconut pecan frosting usually used on a German Chocolate Cake. Since I didn't have a cake mix, I decided to try something a bit different. This is what the result was. Deeelish...and elegant enough for the fanciest dinner party or simple enough for Sunday dinner.

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In an oven-safe casserole, place the potatoes in and dot with the cubes of butter.
- Microwave the frosting for approximately 30-45 seconds on med. power until easily stirred and is "goopy". Drizzle over potatoes and cover with foil.
- Bake 30-45 minutes or until the potatoes are thoroughly heated.
- These will be VERY hot; let cool until just warm.
