  SWEET POTATOES WITH PRALINES Preheat oven to 350F.
  
  Peel and boil sweet potatoes in a covered saucepan until tender - about 20
  min. Drain and mash. Mix in the softened butter, sugar, vanilla, and milk.
  Pour into a baking dish or casserole.
  
  Bring cream to simmer in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar and stir until
  dissolved. Cook over medium heat to soft ball stage - 235F. Remove from
  heat and beat in butter and pecans. Pour over sweet potato mixture.
  
  All of the above may be done up to 2 days in advance and stored in the
  fridge. Then just heat in the oven until bubbling hot and enjoy.
