Sweet Potato Casserole - Southern Style

Time: 1 hrs 45 mins

Ingredients

• 5 -6 sweet potatoes
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• 1 Boil or microwave potatoes until tender. Wait for them to cool enough so, that you can peel them. The peeling should slide right off.
• 2 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 3 Mash the potatoes.
• 4 Combine all the ingredients for the base.
• 5 Add them to the mashed potatoes and stir well.
• 6 After mixed, place in a casserole dish. I usually use an 8 x 14 rectangle. Depending on how little or how much you are making.
• 7 Combine ingredients for topping. Except marshmallows, if using them. The mixture should be kind of crumbly.
• 8 Spread evenly on top.
• 9 Place in oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes.
• 10 When done spread marshmallows on top and put back in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
