Turkey Countdown, Day 4

My favorite Thanksgiving side is without a doubt sweet potatoes. Casseroles, pies, muffins- you name it, I love it. Although not a Thanksgiving side dish, sweet potato fries are also amazingly good- especially with a little cinnamon and sugar on top. MMMMMMM.

My mother makes a sweet potato casserole recipe from the King's Arms Tavern- a restaurant in Williamsburg, VA- and I was fortunate enough to find the recipe online. It's pretty standard, and pretty effin' good:

3 pounds sweet potatoes
3/4 cup light brown supar, packed, divided
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 1 1/2- quart casserole. Cook sweet potatoes in boiling, salted water until done. Drain, peel, and mash. Stir in all remaining ingredients except 2 tablespoons of sugar. Turn mixture into prepared casserole and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400 for 30 minutes.
