This was very good, but with all of the other foods at Thanksgiving, this recipe made **way** too much. Had 11 at the first Thanksgiving, and still brought 3/4 of it home. It freezes very well. Second time around I just defrosted and threw it in the oven to reheat. Still have half of it left after the 2nd Thanksgiving. Next time I will probably 1/2 the recipe.

Great twist on regular sweet potatoes! This was a hit and very easy to make. I used canned potatoes instead and it was super easy. I will add more coconut and marshmallows next time.

My family loved this! There were only two teaspoons left and I finished them while cleaning up the dishes! I modified this a bit though. I only used one cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of butter and left out the coconut (I like coconut...my family doesn't). The topping I left the same. It was an absolutely delicious dish.

We had Thanksgiving here in Australia because my Husband and son are American so I thought it would be nice to have it. I served this with dinner and no-one ate it, even though I only added 1 cup of sugar it was still too sweet to eat with the main meal, so I re served it at dessert time and half was eatten. I wasn't sure what to do with the sweet potatoes so I boiled and mashed them, you couldn't even taste them, I didn't put the topping on thinking there was enough sugar in it already. I probably won't cook this again and if I did I would 1/4 the sugar and serve it as dessert. (We don't eat sweet stuff with our main meals here I always thought it was strange when my husband got sweet stuff ie: jello with his dinner at buffets, and then I noticed when I went there to Alaska they had Jello in the Buffet so it answered a few questions.), By the way I loved it.

Very good, a couple variations though. First cut the sweet potatoes/yams put them in water, after three hours clean the water, that rinse a bit of the starch. Then boil them, mashed them ,put in the margarine or spread, the nutmeg, cinnamon and the 3/4 cups sugar (I used splenda). I did this the night before. When it was time to cook them added only two eggs and 3/4 cups of the evaporated milk. Skipped the coconut but used marshmallows, which I also sprinkle a few on the top cooked for 15 minutes. For the topping I didn't used flakes, but combined light brown sugar with flour, margarine or spread and chopped pecans until making a crumble topping which I cooked for another 10 or so minutes. It was a hit!

I also agree that this recipe is not clear when using raw sweet potatoes. I steamed them first then mashed and continued on with the recipe. The only changes I made were to decrease the sugar to 1 cup and only used 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter. The topping I made as the recipe states. I will definately make this again as everyone raved about it and I thought the taste was perfect.

This was a good recipe and fairly easy to make. I used Splenda instead of sugar and it still turned out fine. Used canned sweet potatoes so I did not have to boil fresh ones. Seemed to make things easier. Cut the butter in half as others had suggested. Overall a good recipe.

I've been making this casserole dish since 2000! Since we always go to a relative's house, it's what everyone always looks forward to. Even the ones who don't like sweet potatoes and coconut rave about it! The only reason I gave it four stars is because it is unclear how to mash raw potatoes and the sweetness can be a little much. I usually double the recipe and boil the potatoes until just tender before mashing them. This year we're having Thanksgiving at home, so I'm going to cut back on the sugar and butter.

Even tho I had to make a few changes this is still a 5 start recipe. I looked at other reviews before making it and follow some advice. I only used 1 Cup white sugar 1/2 cup margarine in both places It turned out great. I made it for my hubbys employee Thanks Giving work lunch and none came home with him. I also used canned yams for I already had them. That was the main reason I cut back on sugar for it has sugar in them. If I would of use Fresh sweet potatoe I would of needed the extra sugar I'm sure. I did drain all juices off my canned yam before using them. Would make again for sure and thank you for sharing your recipe hun 0(*_*)0 Tonya

This is the best sweet potato casserole! I love sweet potatoes and coconut so it was great! Everyone loved this recipe, even my husband who doesn't really care for sweet potatoes. I used canned sweet potatoes to cut down on time and I added more marshmallows in with the topping. This is my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal and I will definately make it every year!!
