Made this for thanksgiving instead of a sweet potato casserole. I ended up making 10 pounds of potatoes, so I had to increase the ingredients. I added a bit more cinnamon and sugar than was proportional. I also melted some marshmallows on top of them. Everyone loved them.

I make this recipe every year, they were a HIT at my last christmas party and everyone asked for the recipe. The original recipe has to much cream cheese, I use half cream cheese and half fluffer-nutter to give it the toasted marshmallow taste! The cream cheese cuts the sweetness but definitely a treat :)

WONDERFUL ... but I didn't go through all the steps of making Shells. I pre-cooked them in the microwave about 5-7 minutes, cut in half, baked them, then I just peeled the potatoes, put them in a bowl, added the other ingredients and blended (I like to keep them a little chunky). I've made them with and without the cheese (add a little butter) and they were great both ways.
