MOM'S SUPREME SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Cover and simmer potatoes, in syrup, for at least 1 hour. Drain.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Poke the potatoes before baking: This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: Use a potato masher or a food processor to get the desired consistency.
- Add the other ingredients: Once the potatoes are mashed, add the butter, milk, sugar, spices, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Top with marshmallows or pecans: This is optional, but it adds a delicious and festive touch to the casserole.
- Bake the casserole until the marshmallows are golden brown: This will take about 15-20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato casserole is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect sweet potato casserole that will be a hit with your family and friends.
