Ingredients:
4 medium-size sweet potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed (about 3 cups) |
3 eggs, separated |
1/2 cup sugar, divided |

1/4 cup milk |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons sherry |
Directions:

2. Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Using a decorator bag and a medium-size tip, fill well with meringue, and make dollops around top of sweet potato mixture. Bake at 325° for 15 minutes or until the meringue is lightly browned.
