My grandmother always served this sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving. The puffy marshmallow topping gives the dish a festive look, and spices enhance the sweet potato flavor. -Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana

For even better flavor, steam the potatoes in their skins prior to peeling. I use my steam canner to do this. A metal colander above boiling water would also work.

I used canned Yams to help save time and they still turn out great!

I never liked sweet potatoes until I tried this recipe for my husband. I absolutely love these!

I've prepared this recipe since it came out in the 2002 magazine and everyone loves it and tries to guess what spices are in it!

I made this for our family Christmas dinner and everyone was thrilled. They loved the unique flavour and light texture. A hint of spices and not too sweet. cd

My family doesn't like it too much because it has a strong flavor of nutmeg and the mashed sweet potato is not sweet enough.
