This is my mom’s recipe for a traditional Southern made from scratch favorite, and it's really easy to make, too! She always served it at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it’s great any time. It's one of my all-time favorites. Read more . I hope it’ll become a family favorite of yours, too! Enjoy! Ingredients:

3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes (if you want to cook them the old fashioned way, bake the sweet potatoes at 350 until they’re tender ' about 45 minutes for average sized potatoes; if you’re in a hurry, boil / steam them in about a half inch of water. i cook mine skins on, but it really doesn’t matter). |
