I've made this recipe for years and everyone says it's the best sweet potato casserole they've ever had. I use fresh sweet potatoes though and not canned. Also make sure you whip your potatoes with a mixer until nice and light. The strussel topping is excellent and gives it great crunch. I don't care for other recipes that use marshmallows on top and that's why I and my friends love this dish,
