project 86: sweet potatoes with a nutty crust

My red head's favourite!  He'll finish the bowl.....does not matter if it was made in an oven dish and half of it is still in the pan.....he'll finish it!

I must admit, I like it as well, and it is a great side dish when you have a lot of people.  When I got this recipe from a friend many years ago, she said it can be eaten as desert with custard as well.  We however could never get to the point where veggies can be eaten as desert!  Although it taste like desert!

Mix together 750 ml cooked smashed sweet potatoes, 250 ml sugar, 125 ml milk, 30 ml butter, 3 ml salt, 2 eggs and 5 ml vanilla.  Place in an oven dish.  Now mix together 250 ml brown sugar, 80 ml flour, 250 ml crushed peanuts and 30 ml butter.  spread over the sweet potato mixture and bake for 35 minutes at 180*C.
