    1 1/2 c. sugar
    1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour

    3/4 t. salt

Directions

Mix dry ingredients. Add other ingredients and mix well. Add nuts if desired. Pour into well-greased
9 X 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 20-30 minutes and release from pan. Slice loaf in 1/2" slices then cut your slices in 1/2 again to make 24 servings.

I boil several fresh sweet potatoes in water. Then cool, skin, and mash them. Measure out 1 cup for this recipe. If you have extra potatoes left over season with a little butter, brown sugar or honey to eat with your next meal.
