You might be a “Southie” if...

Sweet potatoes aren't as popular as they deserve to be. They're a central/south American plant in the bindweed (Creeping Jenny) family, if you can imagine that. (I'm not that smart--I looked it up.) I grew up in FL, and sweet potatoes were an expected dish at church pot-lucks.

Usually people prepared them as a casserole with the potato flesh mashed up with sugar, nuts, coconut, etc., and topped with marshmallows once hot, then put under the broiler for long enough to toast them. It was never a favorite of mine. I love sweet potatoes though, skin well-scrubbed, baked in a real oven and eaten out of hand (skin and all) with no adornments. That's my "recipe." 😂 I was confused when a friend asked for brown sugar. She was confused at my confusion. :gig I had never encountered sweet potatoes buried in brown sugar and drowned in butter before. 😳
That's what alot of peeps call 'Yams', love them too! Instead of brown sugar, I use regular sugar, cinnamon and butter...heavy on the cinnamon :drool
Also like carrot souffle...hard to tell the difference between it and mashed sweet taters.

The so called “YAMS” are the wrong name, marshmallows and super makes it too sweet for me.
 
I agree with 0007sean. Anyone here who lives somewhere where the winter gets under 20 degrees is an eskimau. Also, @sean007 That map is WRONG.
Opps, my bad...Cali should say the land of fruits and nuts not movies and weirdos! :lau
