Sweet potato casserole was not a family tradition when I grew up. In
fact, I had very few encounters with sweet potatoes at all back then.
As an adult, I love sweet potatoes. I especially like them baked and
served with butter. I don't need anything more on them. That said,
my SIL married a man from Alabama and made "the casserole" every
Thanksgiving and Christmas - and for family parties where ham was
involved. I will never like the marshmallow part, but I liked what
was underneath and once a year isn't too much for me. Later in life,
she made a version with peaches. I love, love, loved it... but like
all a pinch of this and a little of that recipes, the one time I tried
- it didn't taste like hers so I didn't try it again.
