Best Big Mama Hammonds Sweet Potato Souffle Recipes

GRANDMA'S SWEET POTATO CRUNCH (ALSO CALLED SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE)

Steps:

• Bake the sweet potatoes at 350 degrees until tender, approx 45 minutes - 1 hour. Remove the outer skins of the potatoes and mash them.
• Combine potatoes and the remaining ingredients with a mixer.
• NOTE: If you make this ahead of time, do not add the bourbon until you are ready to bake. I have made that mistake once, and the bourbon taste gets STRONG and overpowers the potatoes!
• Spread into a sprayed baking dish. I use a 2 1/2 quart round Corningware dish.
• For the topping: Mix all ingredients together except for the marshmallows. Spread the topping in an even layer over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the marshmallows on top if you are using them. I don't like them, so I leave them off.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until the top gets brown and crunchy.
