Sweet Potato Casserole

Can make a half recipe in an 8x8" pan. 

Ingredients:

- 3 lb sweet potatoes (or yams), peeled and cubed, approximately 3-4 medium ones
- 2 T sugar (original said 1/2 c but too sweet)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping:
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (original said 3/4 c but too sweet)
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
- miniature marshmallows on top, sprinkled as thickly as desired but not much is needed

Directions:

Place sweet potatoes in a 6-quart stockpot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Alternatively, bake them in the oven at 350 for an hour with skins on, then peel the skins. 

Meanwhile, make topping by combining flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup cold butter until crumbly.

Drain potatoes; return to pan, then mash. Add sugar, milk, eggs, 1/4 cup butter, and vanilla. Beat until combined.

Transfer potato mixture to a 7x11 or 9x9 pan. Sprinkle with topping.

Bake uncovered at 350F until topping is golden, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with marshmallows. If desired, broil 4-5" from heat for 30-45 seconds or until marshmallows are puffed and golden.
