Servings:	10
Author Notes:	This recipe comes to us from Vicki and Lee Morgan of the Bailey House Bed and Breakfast and Tearoom in Dayton, Tennessee. Unfortunately, the Bailey House is no longer operating, but we keep this recipe for history's sake -- and because Vicki Morgan is a darn good cook and her recipes are delicious. The building that was, for a short time, a historic inn named The Bailey House, had an important role in history. It was a boarding house and home of John Thomas Scopes, of the Scopes Evolution (Monkey) trial fame. The courthouse where that historic case took place is in close walking distance of what used to be the Bailey House.
Ingredients:	4 cups mashed sweet potatoes 3/4 stick (1/2 cup stick) butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup sugar 1 cup milk 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter 2 cups crushed corn flakes 1/2 cup nuts (pecans or walnuts work well)
Instructions:	Preheat oven to 400° F. Mix sweet potatoes, 3/4 stick butter, vanilla, sugar and milk and place in a greased shallow baking dish. Melt 1/2 cup butter and mix melted butter with brown sugar, crushed corn flakes and nuts. Spread on top of sweet potatoes mixture and bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
