Named after a favorite dish of General Cornwallis during the Revolutionary War. This came from North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission. I have not tried this, just posting for safe keeping.
Ingredients:
6 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs
1/2 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup grated coconut, plus some for garnish
1 1/2 cups milk
Directions:
1. Boil sweet potatoes until softened. Peel and mash. Season with cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter.
2. Beat eggs and add to potatoes. Combine with remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased 9x13-inch or 3-quart casserole.
3. Bake in a 350 oven until light brown, about 1 hour. Top with a sprinkle of coconut.
