You can add a sugary/nut topping. Sometimes you can find Pumpkin Pie Spice which saves time, being a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
You really need to boil the potatoes (in a covered pan), because it gives extra moisture and good smooth texture. Microwaving wouldn't provide that.
This is also good cold - less sweet than sweet potato pie but similar.
2 large sweet potatoes or yams, boiled in their skins, and cooled (you need to do this in advance!!)
2 T. oil
2 T. sugar
3 eggs
3 T. flour, matzah meal, or almond flour (to make it Pesadik, or gluten free)
pinch of pepper
1 t. cinnamon
pinch of: cloves, nutmeg, ginger - or 1 t. of pumpkin pie spice
salt to taste
Optional: chopped nuts with extra cinnamon for a crusty top
Peel cooled sweet potatoes by just using your fingers. The peels slide off when they are cooked. Put them in a large bowl and smush them with a potato masher.
Add all the rest of the ingredients. Spray a pretty casserole well (or a pyrex 2 qt pan) and bake at 375 for about 40 minutes, until it browns.
