I grew up in New England, but between the years 2000 and 20006 I lived in Virginia. For the most part, Virginia is "southern" and they sure eat that way. One of the delicious treats I discovered while there was Sweet Potato Casserole. My mom doesn't like sweet potatoes, so this was never even offered to us. This stuff is super sweet and delicious. I make it once a year, on Thanksgiving. This year, I have been asked to bring two batches because everyone loves it so much.
This recipe is my friend's mom recipe and it is amazing.
Jean's Sweet Potatoe Casserole
3 cups of cooked mashed sweet potatoes (I'm with Renata, just cut up 3 SP and call it a day)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs beaten
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all together (add vanilla last)
Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Bake in lasagna pan at 350 for 35 minutes
Enjoy!

That sounds great! When I studied abroad we did a little Thanksgiving among friends and my friend Mike made something he called "sweet potato extravaganza" and it was ridiculously good. I think it may have been something like this recipe. Whatever it was, it ruled.
