1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 cup nuts (optional)
Drain sweet potatoes and crush. Add 1/2 cup oleo, milk, and sugar. Place in a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

Melissa’s Comments: I thought at first that this was a variation of one of the family favorite holiday recipes, but as I typed it up, I realized we have either been doing it wrong, or this recipe was copied out wrong.
The holiday recipe puts the egg in the sweet potatoes (or yams), not the topping. I think probably the recipe was copied wrong? Beaten egg in the topping seems like it would make kind of a weird quiche texture on top of the mashed sweet potatoes.
