How To Make grandma katherine's sweet potatoes

Step 1

Peel, cook and whip potatoes. Add all ingredients from listed ingredients above, mix and place in a 1 1/2 - 2 quart round baking dish.

Step 2

Candied topping - 1 stick butter melted, 1cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 cup chopped pecans. Mix and spread over top of potatoes.
Step 3

Bake in a 350 degree oven uncovered for 30 minutes. Walnuts can be substituted for pecans. These potatoes (leaving off the candied topping) are delicious for an everyday side dish.
