Categories     Holidays

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup packed light brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil (no need to salt). Add the sweet potatoes and cook until soft and very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the topping: Melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave. (Alternatively, melt it in a small pan over low heat and transfer to a medium bowl.) Add the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and mix until well combined. It should look a little clumpy. Stir in the chopped nuts and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mash the cooked and drained sweet potatoes with a potato masher or large fork until very smooth. Add the melted butter, salt, sugar, and nutmeg and mix well. Mix in the eggs. It's okay if there are some lumps. Set aside.
  • Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture and bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is nicely browned. Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Make-Ahead Instructions: You can assemble and refrigerate the casserole up to 2 days ahead of time.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: You can freeze the unbaked sweet potato portion of the recipe, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. Before baking, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then proceed with the recipe instructions.

THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



The Best Sweet Potato Casserole image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the baking dish

This is a perfectly delicious sweet potato casserole from Cook's Illustrated. Anybody who likes sweet potatoes, but doesn't like the candied sweet potatoes will love this recipe. I bake the sweet potatoes a day ahead to save some time on Thanksgiving. The prep time includes baking the potatoes.

Provided by SpacieCase

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h45m

Yield 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 lbs sweet potatoes (6 to 8 medium)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened, plus additional for greasing pan
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1 cup pecans
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
granulated sugar, to taste (up to 4 Tbsp)
4 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups half-and-half

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Poke sweet potatoes several times with a knife and space them evenly on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until very tender and easily squeezed with tongs, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove potatoes from oven and cut in half lengthwise to let steam escape; cool at least 10 minutes. Scrape the flesh away from the skins into a large bowl; you should have about 8 cups. (If making ahead, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate.).
  • For the streusel: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pulse flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until blended. Sprinkle butter pieces over the flour mixture and pulse until a crumbly mass forms, about 6 to 8 one-second pulses. Sprinkle nuts over the mixture and pulse until combined but some large nut pieces remain, 4 to 6 one-second pulses. Transfer streusel to a medium bowl and return the work bowl to the food processor.
  • Place half of the potato flesh into the food processor. With a rubber spatula, break the remaining flesh in the bowl into 1-inch chunks.
  • For the filling: Add melted butter, salt, nutmeg, pepper, vanilla, and lemon juice to the potatoes in the food processor. Process until smooth, about 20 seconds. Taste for sweetness, and add up to 4 Tbsp granulated sugar if desired. Add egg yolks and process about 15 seconds. With processor running, pour half-and-half through the feed tube and process until blended, about 30 seconds. Transfer the puréed mixture to the large bowl with the potato chunks. Stir gently until combined.
  • Pour filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the streusel over the top, breaking up any large pieces with your fingers. Bake until topping is well browned and filling is puffy around the edges, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving (or cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. To reheat, bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.).

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.

Categories     casseroles, vegetables, side dish

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.
