Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lbs orange sweet potatoes ((yams))
2/3 cup maple syrup
1 large orange, zested and juiced ((about 1 tsp of zest and 1/4 cup juice))
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp cold butter
2 tbsp flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap the potatoes in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 60-90 minutes till soft. Baking time will depend on the size of the potatoes. Remove from oven, unwrap carefully, and allow to cool. Note: this step can be prepared in advance; you may keep the cooked potatoes in their skins in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours prior to assembling the casserole, in order to cut down on prep time.Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F. Peel the potatoes, place them in a large mixing bowl, and mash them with a potato masher till smooth.
  • Add the maple syrup, orange zest and juice, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper to the bowl. Use the potato masher to mix the ingredients into the potatoes, mashing and stirring till all ingredients are well combined. Taste mixture; add additional salt or pepper to taste, if desired.
  • Spread the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • In a food processor, combine chopped nuts, brown sugar, butter, and flour. Pulse ingredients for about 60 seconds till they resemble coarse crumbles.
  • Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly across the top of the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole uncovered for 45-50 minutes till the top is browned and crisp. Serve warm.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup light brown sugar
12 to 14 leaves fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
Two 1 1/2-pound steamable sweet potatoes in microwave steam bags
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, separated, whites whisked to almost stiff peaks
2 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Prepare the pan and coating. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter generously the bottom and sides of a circular 1.75-quart or an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. In a food processor, add the pecans, brown sugar, sage, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Pulse until crumbly like crushed cookies. Pour into the dish. Over a large bowl, tilt and tap the dish to coat all sides with the mixture. Add a bit more to the bottom of the dish to create a layer about 1/8-inch thin. Reserve the remaining mixture for the top. Refrigerate the coated dish and remaining topping until ready to fill.
  • Prepare the potatoes. Microwave the potatoes as instructed on the bag (usually 8 minutes). Once cooled to room temperature, break in half and place in a food processor with the butter, sugar, cream, flour, cinnamon and yolks. Pulse, and then blend until smooth. Taste and season with a pinch of salt if needed. Remove to a large bowl and fold in the egg whites. Pour into the prepared dish, smoothing out the top. Sprinkle the rest of the reserved topping evenly over the potatoes and gently press down to flatten.
  • Top and bake. Bake until the edges and top are golden, about 30 minutes. Raise the heat of the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the marshmallows over the top and pat gently to an even layer. Bake while watching until the top is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
