Mama's Sweet Potato Casserole

North Carolina ranks first in the production of the nutritious sweet potato. Approximately 36,000 acres are grown in North Carolina — nearly 40 percent of the total U. S. production. Many sweet potatoes are marketed as yams, but are actually sweet potatoes with a vivid orange color, a soft moist consistency when cooked, and a uniquely sweet flavor. The term yam has been used every since slaves from West Africa mistook the sweet potato for their native nyami.
