-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 large sweet potatoes
3/4 cup butter or margarine
14 ounces marshmallow cream (2-7oz. jars)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup cornflakes cereal -- crushed
1/2 cup pecans -- chopped

Cook potatoes in boiling water to cover in a Dutch oven 30 minutes or
until tender; drain and cool slightly. Peel potatoes, and cut into
chunks; set aside. Cook 3/4 cup butter and marshmellow cream in Dutch
oven over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth. Beat
potatoes, marshmellow cream mixture, eggs, sugar, and milk at medium
speed with an electric mixer, in batches until smooth, stopping to scrape
down sides. Spoon into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Melt 1/3 cup butter
and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in cereal
and pecans. Sprinkle over potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 1
hour. Yield 10 servings.
