My old next-door neighbor made these every year for Thanksgiving. She got the recipe from Gourmet Mag. Now I make it every year for Thanksgiving too. You can assemble this and put it in the fridge until your ready to bake.
Ingredients:
4 lbs sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons lemon juice (4 or 5 if you like lemon)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 egg yolks
salt and pepper
nutmeg
lemon, slivers for top (to garnish)
Directions:
1. Cook, peel and mash sweet potatoes. Beat in lemon, butter, salt & pepper to taste, eggs yolks, and nutmeg to taste until smooth.
2. Transfer into a 1 1/2 quart buttered casserole dish and brush top with butter.
3. Top with lemon slices.
4. Cook at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until heated through.
