Southern Comfort Sweet Potatoes

Submitted by Vino Girl

"I love sweet potatoes just about any way you make them, but my husband is much pickier about them, and this is his favorite sweet potato recipe. He doesn't want me to make them any other way now! I make these for most holidays, or just when we want something a little more special, and they have always been a huge hit. I have made this with fresh sweet potatoes, too - just use an equivalent amount, and peel, cook, and cool them before starting this recipe. They reheat well, too."

Last year, I was away from home during the Thanksgiving holiday and did an internet search to find the Southern Comfort Sweet Potato recipe. When I read the one here, I thought it was the original. Later when I got home and checked my recipe, I discovered that for some reason, the person who posted the recipe here tripled the amount of eggs. The original recipe calls for one egg. That is all you need! The other ingredients and amounts are correct.

This is a great sweet potato recipe, a real hit with my relatives, who don't care for the usual marshmallow type casserole. The addition of Southern Comfort adds a bit of a kick (tastewise). Yum!
