Tips:

For a crispy topping, use fresh cornflakes. Stale cornflakes will not provide the same level of crunch.
If you want a sweeter casserole, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the sweet potato mixture.
For a more savory casserole, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the sweet potato mixture.
If you don't have a mixer, you can mash the sweet potatoes by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are smooth.
To save time, you can use canned sweet potatoes. Just be sure to drain and rinse them before using.
This casserole can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the casserole according to the recipe and then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake the casserole as directed.
