THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
We opted for a nutty crumb topping over marshmallows to create a pleasantly crunchy contrast to the creamy and soft mashed sweet potatoes. The filling gets a pumpkin pie-like treatment, with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor and butter and eggs for richness. This recipe is bound to become a holiday staple.

Steps:
- For the sweet potatoes: Add 1 3/4 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Mash the sweet potatoes.
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
- Whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl until moist and the mixture clumps together. Stir in the pecans. Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake until mostly set in the center and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
VEGAN SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
We took this classic holiday dish and made it vegan-friendly, nixing the heavy cream and butter in favor of rich, creamy coconut milk. The result is a fluffy, non-dairy sweet potato filling that will satisfy everyone at your table. It's topped with a crunchy golden-brown nut layer spiced with cinnamon.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the sweet potatoes: Put the sweet potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Season with a good pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, lower to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well and return the potatoes to the pot.
- Add the coconut milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt; use a potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes until the mixture very smooth (see Cook's Note). Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
- For the nut topping: While the potatoes are cooking, add the walnuts, pecans, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt to a food processor and pulse a few times until evenly and finely chopped (the nuts should be small but not pulverized). Add the coconut oil and pulse a few more times until the mixture is fully moistened and combined.
- Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly over the sweet potato filling. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is heated through, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the casserole cool 5 minutes before serving.
AWESOME SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
This recipe was given to me in the late 1980s by Diane Thornton in Jackson Mississippi. I have made it each year since, and when I bring it to gatherings people rave about it, so I bring it year after year. Some people say it's more like a desert than a side dish. All I know is that it's a standby for me and always gets a nod.

Tips:
- Choosing the right sweet potatoes is crucial for the best casserole. Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin.
- Baking the sweet potatoes ahead of time allows the natural sugars to caramelize, resulting in a richer flavor.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier, more decadent casserole. You can also use coconut cream or a combination of coconut milk and cream.
- Don't overmix the sweet potato mixture. Overmixing can make the casserole dense and gummy.
- For a crispy topping, use a combination of brown sugar, butter, and chopped nuts.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.

Sweet potato casserole with coconut is a delicious and unique side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
