Sweet Potato Puff
- SWEET POTATO PUFF
- 3-4 large sweet potatoes or yams, washed
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- CRUNCHY TOPPING
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work best)
- 4 tbsp. melted butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1. Wrap potatoes in tinfoil and cut a slit in each to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake on a cookie sheet at 375-400 for approx. 60-75 minutes (potatoes are done if they're soft when pinched).
- 2. Remove potatoes from oven and place on counter to cool. Carefully pull open the tinfoil. Cut them open,if desired, for faster cooling.
- 3. While potatoes are cooling, mix together ingredients for crunchy topping and set aside.
- 4. Once potatoes are room temperature, mash them in a large bowl.
- 5. Add brown sugar, butter, milk, and eggs and mix together. Pour all ingredients into a 9x13 greased pan or casserole dish.
- 6. Sprinkle crunchy topping on the potato mixture and bake, uncovered, at 350 for about 45-60 minutes. Sweet potato puff is done when topping is golden in color.
- 7. Top with whipped cream and serve warm for dessert. Or serve without topping as a sweet side dish.
