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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the baking dish
3 to 4 large sweet potatoes (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled and cubed

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.

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.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Sweet Potato Casserole image

This take on the classic Thanksgiving side has the right amount of sweetness and irresistible buttery flavor, not to mention the right balance of creamy and crunchy. Crushed cornflakes make the topping extra crisp, but you can skip them if you want. The two cups of mini marshmallows called for may not cover your entire casserole, allowing a little of that sweet potato filling to peek out, but feel free to use more marshmallows to cover it all the way. With all its flavors and textures combined, this quintessential holiday dish will have everyone coming back for more.

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
6 large sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds), scrubbed
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup lightly crushed cornflakes (optional)
1/2 packed cup light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted
2 cups mini marshmallows, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the filling: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place on the baking sheet. Bake until soft, about 1 hour; let cool.
  • When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them using a knife, then add the flesh to a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) and mash with a potato masher or fork.
  • Add the 1/2 cup butter, eggs, condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt to the bowl. Combine well with a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed. Add the mixture to the prepared baking dish and, using a spatula, smooth out the top.
  • Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, cornflakes (if using), brown sugar, flour and butter until thoroughly combined. Spoon the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes.
  • Bake the casserole until slightly browned, about 35 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and add the marshmallows in an even layer. Return to the oven and bake until marshmallows are toasty and melted, about 5 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamier casserole, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you like a sweeter casserole, add an extra 1/2 cup of brown sugar or maple syrup.
  • For a crunchier topping, use chopped pecans or walnuts instead of marshmallows.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • When you're ready to bake, let the casserole come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.

Conclusion:

Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole is a classic holiday dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its creamy, sweet filling and crunchy topping, it's the perfect way to end a special meal. So next time you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner, be sure to give this recipe a try.
