Coconut, lemon rind, and raisins are a bright surprise. A lot of people buy my cookbook just to get this recipe, says Mrs. Wilkes. Ingredients:
4 pounds sweet potatoes, pared and sliced |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup raisins |
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 cup evaporated milk |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted |
1/2 cup shredded coconut |
miniature marshmallows |
Directions:
1. Place the potatoes in a pot and add enough salted water to cover. Cook until tender. Drain. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mash and whip the potatoes. Add the remaining ingredients (except marshmallows) and mix well. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with marshmallows. Return to the oven and continue cooking until brown.
