4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup margarine, melted
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes cereal
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes. Mix together with sugar, eggs, 3/4 cup margarine, evaporated milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, marshmallows and coconut. Scoop the mixture into the baking dish.

Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until sweet potatoes are tender.

In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes, brown sugar, pecans and remaining 3/4 cup margarine. Spread the topping over the baked casserole.

Return the casserole to the 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
