Yam Souffle

Another comfort dish from my childhood Thanksgivings.  This was a staple every year and is so yummy.

 

Ingredients:

• 3 large sweet potatoes cooked and whipped
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 bag small marshmallows
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Peel and cook potatoes until tender. Drain potatoes and whip. Add sugar, eggs, salt, butter, milk and vanilla. Mix well and put in a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 25 minutes. Place marshmallows and pecans on top and return to oven for about 5 minutes or until brown on top.
