CRUNCHY SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Crunchy Sweet Potato Casserole image

I'm frequently assigned the sweet potatoes for the holiday dinners. That's alright, because I love the sweetness of it. But, I keep my eyes open for new versions. This is one of the sweeter ones I've come across, but also has a lovely crunchy texture. I wasn't sure if "mashed" meant "canned", so we bought 3 lbs of raw sweet...

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 c mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 c butter, melted
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
TOPPING:
1 c crushed cornflakes
1/2 c chopped walnuts
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c butter, cubed

Steps:

  • 1. If using raw sweet potatoes, bake per the norm (I chose 400* for 1 hour, no pre-heat). Be sure to prick them before baking, or they will, um, well, leak. . . I allowed them to cool for 1/2 hour, but with baking mitts, you could probably peel the skins away right away.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Spoon into a greased 1-1/2 qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 375* for 20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160*.
  • 3. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over potatoes. Bake 5 - 10 minutes longer or until the topping is lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before peeling and mashing them.
  • Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed sweet potatoes.
  • Add butter, milk, and spices to the mashed sweet potatoes to taste.
  • Top the sweet potato casserole with a crunchy pecan topping before baking.
  • Serve the sweet potato casserole warm with a dollop of whipped cream or marshmallows.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed as a main course or a snack. With its sweet and savory flavor, crunchy topping, and creamy texture, sweet potato casserole is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
