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

Very appealing look, but much better recipes are out there.

Every year I try a different sweet potato recipe. Well, I have finally find one that I will stick with. Great side dish.

I used half evaporated milk and half water because I didn't have 2%. Also, since I only had 2 sweet potatoes, I cut everything down to a 1/3 to make it enough for 2.

Very good. I had to use the mini mashmellows. It was a big hit I made it for Thanksgiving.

I make this recipe during the course of the year. Instead of topping with marshmallows, I use marshmallow creme & spread on top of the casserole.

I have a lot of family members who do not like sweet potatoes and they love this. They said it taste like pumpkin pie. I have altered the recipe. I make more of the mashed sweet potatoes and cover the top with small marshmallows.

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.
