Ingredients
  • 4
    pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
  • 1
    cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2
    cup butter, cut up
  • 1/4
    cup milk
  • 4
    eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 - 4
    tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1. In a Dutch oven cook potatoes, covered, in enough boiling salted water to cover for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender; drain and return to pan.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slightly mash potatoes with a potato masher. Stir in sugar, butter, milk, eggs, lemon juice, and, if desired, one of the stir-ins; stir until well combined.

It's the one cup of brown sugar that got me. Sweet potatos are already sweet. I would have read the peanut butter as 1/2 cup. Whoever wrote the recipe forgot the slash between the numbers. As for the eggs, this dish could be made ahead of time by at least 3 days if kept refrigerated.

I made it with the pumpkin pie spice and the pineapple-blue cheese topping and the result was delicious!

On the stir-ins, I would believe it is 1/2 cup of peanut butter not 12-just for any novice cooks out there!
