Title: Sweet potatoes
 Categories: Entrees, Holiday, Usenet
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
  2 1/4 lb Sweet potatoes
           -(canned or precooked)
      2 c  Milk
      3 T  Brown sugar
      3 T  Butter, melted
    1/2 t  Salt
      1 ds Pepper
      1 ds Cinnamon
    1/4 c  Raisins
           Marshmallows
 
  Mash sweet potatoes by putting through a sieve or beating in an
  electric beater or using a potato masher or food mill.  Add milk
  gradually (if you add it too fast it splashes and is hard to mix in).
  
  Mix in remaining ingredients.  Put in buttered casserole.  Heat
  through (bake in slow oven 250 degrees F.) for 20-30 minutes, or in
  microwave).
  
  Cover top with marshmallows.  Return to oven until marshmallows are
  slightly melted and a bit brown. (If the oven is too hot, the
  marshmallows will disappear!) This step cannot be done in the
  microwave.
