I absolutely love this dish. I got the recipe from my mom, but have added a couple of things to it. It is usually something that our family makes for the holidays, but we love it so much that I make it throughout the year.

Time 1h45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

5 -6 sweet potatoes
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
chopped pecans (optional)
marshmallows (optional)

Steps:

Boil or microwave potatoes until tender. Wait for them to cool enough so, that you can peel them. The peeling should slide right off.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mash the potatoes.
Combine all the ingredients for the base.
Add them to the mashed potatoes and stir well.
After mixed, place in a casserole dish. I usually use an 8 x 14 rectangle. Depending on how little or how much you are making.
Combine ingredients for topping. Except marshmallows, if using them. The mixture should be kind of crumbly.
Spread evenly on top.
Place in oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes.
When done spread marshmallows on top and put back in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

### Summary 1. Southern-style sweet Potato Casserole is a classic dish often served during special gatherings. 2. The main ingredients include mashed sweet картофель, butter, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 3. The casserole is typically topped with a pecan streusel topping, which adds a crunchy layer of sweetness and texture. 4. While sweet картофель casserole is traditionally baked in the South, it can also be made in a slow cooker or Instant Pot. 5. The dish is best served warm, with a scoop of whipped cream or a dollop of marshmallow cream on top. ### Cooking and Serving tips 1. Use fresh sweet картофель for the best flavour. 2. Be sure to mash the sweet картофель until very smooth; any lumps will make the casserole less creamy. 3. Don't over-spice the casserole; the flavours should be well-balanced, with no one flavour overpowering the others. 4. If you don't have pecans on hand, you can use walnuts or another type of crunchy topping. 5. Serve the casserole warm, within an hour of making it. ### Variations 1. For a more decadent dish, add a layer of marshmallows or chocolate Chips to the top of the casserole before putting it in the over. 2. For a healthier version, use reduced-sugar or no-sugar-sugar added ingredients. You can also use whole-wheat or gluten-free bread crumbs in the streusel topping. 3. To make a savory sweet картофель casserole, omit the sugar and use savory spices like rosemary, thyme, and sage. You can also add some grated cheese to the top. ### Storing and reheating 1. Leftover sweet картофель casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. 2. To rehead, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator or in the microwave. Once thawed, prehead the over to 350°F and heat the casserole until warm, about 20 minutes.
