Reviews
Great side dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The only change I made was to substitute brown sugar for regular sugar to add more flavor.
My family stated that I am to make this for every Thanksgiving from here on out ! My oldest daughter who does not like sweet potatoes loved it!!!
Sooo good. Repeat instructions?
I can make it 1 day and swap for mini marshmallows for Christmas!
Made this for thanksgiving today…huge hit!! I cooked and mashed the potatoes the night before to save time. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1tsp of vanilla instead of white sugar and 2tsp vanilla. Plenty sweet. I did have to cook an additional 20 minutes (yes, 20!) to get marshmallows toasted but soufflés was fine.
I made this for Thanksgiving and my mom asked for it again for Easter. I used mini marshmallows and some Peeps on top. Was very festive for Easter LOL. The eyes on the Peeps melted so I just took a toothpick and some gel icing and dotted them some new eyes. I did make a larger recipe and I used 2- 40 oz cans of sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and 3 eggs, but everything else (butter, vanilla, milk) was the same. Everyone loved them.
A few years back, I was assigned the sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. I don’t cook. I googled for a recipe and this was the first that came up. It looked easy enough, so I made it. Now, it’s the bane of my existence. I have to make it at every family gathering. They LOVE it. I’m writing this now as I look the recipe up again to make it for Easter. EASTER! Sigh…it’s a hit and very easy to make.
Although a little runny it is DELICIOUS. I only made it once and now my mom keeps asking it too make ut again. I’m only 14!!
I love this recipe! This is one recipe that is always requested for thanksgiving dinner. Side note its very creamy because its whipped but absolutely delish!!!
I found this recipe a couple years ago and now, we cannot do a Thanksgiving feast without it! It’s a HUGE hit with everyone!
