Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, choose firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before mashing them: Roasting the sweet potatoes brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges, giving the casserole a more complex flavor.
  • Use a food processor or stand mixer to mash the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth, lump-free texture. If you don't have a food processor or stand mixer, you can mash the sweet potatoes by hand, but it will take a bit more time and effort.
  • Don't overmix the sweet potato mixture: Overmixing will make the casserole dense and gummy. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This Crunchy Sweet Potato Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavors, crispy pecan topping, and creamy marshmallow topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a side dish that is both delicious and impressive, give this Crunchy Sweet Potato Casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
