Instructions

  • Cook one large sweet potato in boiling water, then put in cold water to cool,  peel and mash. (You can use 1 cup canned sweet potatoes mashed).  In a large bowl mix mashed sweet potatoes, oil, eggs, milk, brown sugar, white sugar and applesauce with spoon.

Notes

Always check your bread for doneness as ovens vary. Also opening and closing your oven during cooking can cause it to need more time to cook.
