Sweet Potato Casserole

Many variations - I like this one!

There are scores of recipes for sweet potato casserole recipes. It's an ever present side dish for American Thanksgiving celebrations. Some recipes call for orange juice and others for more sugar and no cinnamon and still others top it off with marshmallows. I like this one from Estelle Pace. It's simple, with no exotic flavors and can be served any time of the year. What do you prefer!
