Sharing a favorite recipe

Since I'll be making this today, one less thing to cook tomorrow, I'm sharing this family favorite recipe with you. 

Sweet Potato with Coconut

Serves 10 – 12 (Can be halved easily)

4 cups mashed sweet potatoes

1 cup white sugar

1 stick butter or margarine

½ cup milk (or orange juice)

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 cup coconut

2 eggs slightly beaten

Topping:

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup nuts (I use pecans)

¼ cup flour

Mix thoroughly, (I blend in food processor.)

1 stick margarine or butter

Heat sweet potatoes, sugar, one stick butter and ½ cup of milk in saucepan.  Add eggs, vanilla and coconut.  Mix thoroughly.  Pour into 13 X 9 inch baking dish. 

Top with topping.  Slice stick of butter over topping, and bake at 350º until brown, about 15 - 20 minutes.

Enjoy, I know my family certainly will.
