2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes
1/4 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup light molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt

  • To add a touch of warmth and spice, use a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Feel free to adjust the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
