peel, dice, and boil sweet potatoes until tender. Once tender, drain and add to your mixer. mix all ingredients until well blended and potatoes are fluffy. grease a baking dish and place sweet potatoes into bake at 350* for 45 minutes.

in the meantime, prepare your topping

3/4 CUP frosted flakes

1/2 CUP brown sugar

1/2 stick butter

1/2 CUP pecans ( i do not use this because of allergies)

melt except Frosted Flakes together over medium heat in a frying pan. combine well, until brown sugar is melted and then add frosted flakes until they are covered. once the sweet potatoes are done baking, pour topping over them and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until browned.
