I love sweet potatoes in all forms and we eat them year round in our house. But come the holidays, I like to indulge in the classic sweet potato casserole. This recipe is from my Grammy and to this day I get asked by family members for it. Basically it’s the same as a classic sweet potato casserole but instead of the marshmallows on top, it has dollops of a brown sugar mixture and then sliced almonds. Very tasty and the little bit of crunch from the almonds just makes this dish.
