2 c. mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 c. white granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 beaten eggs
2 tbsp. soft butter
2/3 c. broken pecans (optional)
Marshmallows for the top
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 c. raisins (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice or 1 tsp. cinnamon or allspice
1/2 c. milk (canned or fresh)

Bake or boil potatoes until tender. Beat (with electric beater) until smooth. Don't scrape beaters, fibers cling to them. Add eggs and mix well. Add milk after the eggs and blend well. Add the soft butter and then the dry ingredients and beat until fluffy. Add raisins (if used) and half the pecans.

Bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until firm on top. Remove from oven. Pour marshmallows and remaining pecans on top. Brown quickly in hot oven or run under the broiler. Serves 8.
