Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooked sweet potatoes will make the casserole mushy and less flavorful.
- Use fresh spices: Fresh spices will give your casserole the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, use ground spices instead, but use half the amount. Fresh nutmeg is a great addition to this recipe
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the casserole. Don't try to substitute margarine or oil for butter.
- Top the casserole with marshmallows or pecans: This is a classic topping for sweet potato casserole, but you can also get creative with other toppings, such as streusel, nuts, or even a dollop of whipped cream.
