Mrs. Jaye, I think I will do like you and instead of the recipe I use every year, I will replace it for yours--although mine is really delicious. The thing is, yours is incredibly good! We ate with roast, not as dessert. I suggest tjif (who rated 2 stars) to give it another try, but cook the cooked, mashed potatoes a bit before using them if they are "watery." It is THIS good, believe me. And TommyT, this recipe calls for sweet potatoes, not squash; give it a try. Thanks, Mrs. Jaye.

I found the same recipe in the ALlrecipe. I made this one for a family party.It was very watery, and the presentation does not tasty either. Luckily I have made some othwer deserts. I think I will go back to the marshmallow one. Thank you for posting though.

Absolutely fabulous dish. It was light and flavorful and the spices were just right. The crunch in the topping was a nice additiong and a welcomed change to the usual sweet potato recipes out there. Definitely a recipe worth keeping. Thanks for posting.
