Dec 12, 2011

  • 3-4 yams or sweet potatoes or yams
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • 2 tbs dark rum
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2-3 peeled and chopped oranges

Bake the yams/sweet pototoes like you would a baked potato.
Place tin foil under them in oven since they WILL leak!
OK to snip off the ends of the potatoes before baking.
Scoop out potatoes and mash with all ingredients
(note: Susie does not use the juice from the orange, Mom does!)
OK to use electric mixer.
Place in casserole and bake for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
