I've eaten this casserole every year we've had Thanksgiving with my husbands family for the last 20+ years. It's so basic - but really good.
Mindi's Sweet Potato Casserole
Sweet Potatoes - one potato per person, make sure they're sweet potatoes not yams
Pats of cold butter
Brown sugar
Boil the sweet potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes - until fork tender. Let them cool. Peel and slice them.
Put one layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish, layer with butter cubes, sprinkle with brown sugar and repeat (3 layers in total).
Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until the brown sugar and butter are melted.
