MAMA'S SWEET POTATO SOUFFLé

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350º.
• 2. Boil sweet potatoes (it's easier to remove skins after boiling them) until tender. Mash potatoes while still hot, then mix with electric mixer. Remove any stringy strands from blenders.
• 3. Mix together all other ingredients and put in a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes. Just before removing top with marshmallows or *Mama's Sweet Potato Soufflè Topping.

GRANDMA'S SWEET POTATO CRUNCH (ALSO CALLED SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE)

Steps:

• Bake the sweet potatoes at 350 degrees until tender, approx 45 minutes - 1 hour. Remove the outer skins of the potatoes and mash them.
• Combine potatoes and the remaining ingredients with a mixer.
• NOTE: If you make this ahead of time, do not add the bourbon until you are ready to bake. I have made that mistake once, and the bourbon taste gets STRONG and overpowers the potatoes!
• Spread into a sprayed baking dish. I use a 2 1/2 quart round Corningware dish.
• For the topping: Mix all ingredients together except for the marshmallows. Spread the topping in an even layer over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the marshmallows on top if you are using them. I don't like them, so I leave them off.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until the top gets brown and crunchy.

• Place potatoes in a mixing bowl and with an electric mixer, beat on low speed until potatoes begin to break up. Increase speed to medium high and blend until smooth.
• Reduce speed to low and add sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, eggs and salt. Mix well.
• Allow any potato 'fibers' to remain on the beater and remove. Pour sweet potato mixture into the casserole dish.
• Prepare the topping in a small bowl by whisking together the brown sugar, flour, butter and pecans. Sprinkle mixture over potato mixture and bake for 40 minutes.
