6 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes (2-1/2 to 3 pounds potatoes)
2 eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
Beat 2 eggs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 1 teaspoon each salt and cinnamon into 6 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes. (If potatoes seem dry, beat in orange juice – up to 1 cup – until moist and fluffy.) Put into 1-1/2 quart casserole. Arrange pecans on top, sprinkle with brown sugar and drizzle with 1/4 cup melted butter. Bake uncovered in 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Serves 6 to 8.
