I doubled this recipe yesterday for Easter dinner at a friend's home for 12. I reduced the sugar in half since it tasted plenty sweet to me. I only made half again the recipe for the topping and that was more than adequate. I used butter instead of margarine and put it in a 9x13 inch pyrex dish. There wasn't a smidgen remaining and everyone asked for the recipe (even a bachelor). I will definitely make this again. BTW make certain your potatoes are WELL mashed before mixing in the other ingredients; then wisk them separately before adding them to the mashed potatoes. For anyone who might be interested, 6 cups of mashed potatoes resulted from 4.5 lbs. raw potatoes. This was asked at the dinner party.

This has been a family favorite in my house for years. My husband's grandmother passed on this recipe. The only change in my recipe is 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in the topping.

I totally omitted the sugar from the sweet potato mash, substituted mini marshmellows for pecans & thoroughly enjoyed this dish. I will be making it again soon!!

Love it, Love it! Excellent for those of us with a sweet tooth! So easy to make. Sometimes I make it with the pecans, sometimes with minimarshmellows, and sometimes "au natural"!

The dish was fantastic! I received a standing ovation by close friends--first time ever in this group for anyone to get that type of recognition! Rather than using milk, I substituted crushed pineapple. Because I doubled the recipe, I used an eight ounce can of crushed pineapple with the juice.

Easy to make and the consistency was really good. I liked that it was so creamy and buttery, but way too sweet for my family. Sweet potatoes for those who prefer the taste of sugar to the taste of sweet potatoes. If I make this again, I'll try dropping the sugar from the potatoes all together and cutting the brown sugar by half, and I'll add a tsp of cinnamon and a half tsp nutmeg for extra flavor. Thanks anyway.

This dish went to a company Christmas Party where they raved about it. Had to make 10 copies of the recipe. I baked my sweet potatos the previous day and kept them in the refrigerator. It was much easier to peel them and get all the potato out.

I doubled this and followed the recipe exactly. It was very good, but I will use less sugar next time for both the sweet potato mixture and the topping.

This was exactly what I was looking for — so easy and outstanding in taste & consistency! YUM! It's a keeper and a new tradition in my family for Thanksgiving! Even 3 people who "hate" sweet potatoes loved this and went back for 2nds. I made the recipe exactly as written, except I added a layer of miniature marshmallows on the top during the last 5 minutes of baking. Thanks Divinemom5!
