SWEET POTATO PONE 
2 1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes or yams
1/4 c. melted butter
2 eggs
1/4 c. light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. light molasses
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Wash potatoes. Place in kettle, cover with water. Bring to boil; simmer, covered, 30 minutes or until tender. Drain, let cool just until easy to handle. Peel and mash; stir in butter.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In bowl, beat eggs; add sugar and beat thoroughly.

Add milk, molasses, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; beat until well blended. Stir into mashed potatoes until well blended. Turn into buttered, 1 1/2 quart casserole. Bake, covered, 50 to 60 minutes, or until heated through. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

(Instead of fresh potatoes, you may use 2 cans - 17 ounce size - sweet potatoes or yams, drained and mashed.)
