For my Daughters and their Mom…by special request. This is my mom’s famous (among family and friends) Sweet Potato Casserole. The recipe is in her words.
Of note: The sweet potatoes are first brought to a boil in plain water, then simmered until quite tender . She usually peel them after cooking when they had cooled enough to handle. The butter in the potato mixture was pre- melted.
Also for the topping, She usually used pecans. The butter was melted first in a 10” cast iron skillet, then the nuts, brown sugar, and flour were stirred in until well melted and mixed.
