Sweet Potato Casserole

Image to come after it's done cooking

Sweet Potato Casserole
From Lisa's Kitchen

3 c sweet potatoes, mashed (2-3 large potatoes)
2 egg
1/2 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c sugar
1 stick butter, divided
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c flour
1/2 cup nuts.

Beat together first 5 ingredients and half a stick of butter. Spread mixture into a greased pan (8 in square pan). Mix together remaining ingredients until well combined and spread over the sweet potato mixture. Bake at 350 for 35-40 min.

My Notes:

I had never had straight sweet potatoes before Thanksgiving. I had them mixed in with things (brownies, thanks to working with a dietician), but never on their own. My stepmom made these for Thanksgiving, though, and I promised I would try them for her. I loved them. They're super sweet, and, as my dad says, almost like a dessert.

If you want to make them pareve, you can use soy milk and margarine. But it's just not the same.
