MICROWAVE SWEET POTATO BAKE



Microwave Sweet Potato Bake image

This is a dish my mother created. It is so easy, fast and always gets rave reviews from dinner guests! It is my favourite side-dish. It goes really well with fish or any other white meat. I have always made this by eye, so the measurements are a rough estimate. (Preperation time excludes steaming of the sweet potatoes.)

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 -5 large sweet potatoes, steamed and peeled
250 g ginger biscuits, crushed (Gingernuts)
12 ounces evaporated milk
2 bananas
1 1/2 cups soft brown sugar

Steps:

  • Thickly slice the sweet potato, and place a layer into a round 9" microwave-safe dish.
  • Slice the bananas and place the banana slices over the gaps left by the potato.
  • Sprinkle the banana and sweet potato with a layer of gingernut crumbs. (Be sure to save some for the other layers.)
  • Sprinkle generously with some of the brown sugar.
  • Continue to build layers, finishing with gingernuts and sugar.
  • Pour enough evaporated milk over the dish to fill all the gaps. Last layer of potato should still be visible above the milk.
  • Place into the microwave and cook on high for 5-7 minutes.
  • Let stand for 2 minutes before serving.
  • VARIATION: Add some mini marshmallows for variation. The dish is sweet enough without them, so reduce sugar if you choose to do so.

Tips:

  • Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly before cooking.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before microwaving.
  • Microwave the sweet potatoes on high power for 5-7 minutes per potato, or until tender.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool for a few minutes before handling.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, cinnamon, sugar, or marshmallows.
