Crush cereal and sprinkle over the top. Bake 1 hour. Serves 8 or more.

Feel free to substitute any crispy cereal for the topping on the Sweet Potato Bake, including Rice Krispies (won’t need crushing), Rice or Corn Chex, Corn Flakes, Special K, etc.
• Sweet potatoes come in a variety of sizes, some as large as footballs (but they aren’t available in supermarkets). You’re aiming for about 3 quarts (12 cups) of mashed sweet potatoes.
• Southwest sweet potato bake: leave out the marshmallow crème and white sugar, add 1 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder and ½ teaspoon cumin. The sweet topping and spicy filling make a delicious contrast.
