This is a family recipe from my husband's side of the family. They make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
3-cups of cooked, mashed sweet potatoes (baked them for an hour OR peel, quarter and boil for 20 minutes or until tender) About 3 good sized potatoes work well.
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup soft butter (1 4-oz stick)
3 eggs
topping
1/2 cup soft butter (1 4-oz stick)
3 cups crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Beat the eggs until lemon colored. Put potatoes, sugar, baking powder, vanilla, salt and butter into a big bowl and mix well. Put the mixture into a buttered baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes or until set.
While the potatoes are baking, make the topping. Put everything into a bowl and mix well.
Remove potatoes from oven and cover with topping. Return to oven for about 15 minutes.
Serves 4-6
