Candied sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping!
One of my favorite recipes is a ‘Sweet Potato Souffle’ that my Aunt used to make - with marshmallow topping:
Sweet Potato Souffle
Prepare 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes:
Boil potatoes in their skins until done; remove skins and mash.
Preheat oven to 350.
Scald: 1 C. milk
Add:
½ C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 T. butter
1 tsp. nutmeg
and the potatoes. Beat until fluffy.
Separate 2 eggs. Beat yolks and add to the potato mixture.
Add: ½ C. raisins, and stir in well.
Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff, and fold into 1st. mixture.
Pour into greased baking dish.
Bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes, or until knife comes out clean. When done, top with marshmallows and brown briefly under broiler.
(Usually I make the potatoes the night before, and don’t bother separating the eggs.)
Sweet Potato Casserole with PRALINE TOPPING
The recipe is also in the Southern Living recipe books (which is the one used at the time -unfortunately still in a packing box after the move) Can’t guarantee this is the same, but it appears to be. Potatoes baked, not boiled, before mixing in the eggs and milk The result is like a souffle, praline topped and the compliments are numerous. :-)
