I reduced this to make one pie. Yummy. very nice flavor. not too sweet but not bland either. I could eat it with or without the marshmellows. I am keeping this one! -
I've been trying to find a recipe as close to my mom's as possible and, when baked as a "pudding," this one was it, once I made a few modifications. I left out the milk, but I mixed in about 2/3 cup of shredded coconut. Plus, I mixed a few cups of mini marshmallows into the potatoes during the last 15 minutes of baking, along with the marshmallows on top. So sweet and so delicious! -
This recipe was very easy to make and it was a big hit at my house on thanksgiving. I was finally able to get my kids to like sweet potatoes.
