SWEET-POTATO - Mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows
This recipe is traditional in my family for holiday dining.
It comes from my great-grandmother.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 6-8)
2 1/4 lb sweet potatoes (canned or precooked)
2 cups milk
3 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
dash cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins
marshmallows
PROCEDURE
(1) Mash sweet potatoes by putting through a sieve or
beating in an electric beater or using a potato
masher or food mill.
(2) Add milk gradually (if you add it too fast it
splashes and is hard to mix in).
(3) Mix in remaining ingredients.
(4) Put in buttered casserole.
(5) Heat through (bake in slow oven (250 deg. F) for
20-30 minutes, or in microwave).
(6) Cover top with marshmallows.
(7) Return to oven until marshmallows are slightly
melted and a bit brown (if the oven is too hot,
the marshmallows will disappear!) This step can-
not be done in the microwave.
RATING
Difficulty: easy with an electric mixer. Time: 15 minutes
preparation, 30 minutes baking. Precision: approximate
measurement OK.
