PUMPKIN SPICE SWEET POTATOES



Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potatoes image

These are not at all something I ate growing up and I really love watching the inner kid come out in almost everyone when they see the marshmallow topping come out of the woodwork. I love the brightness the red wine vinegar brings to the party. I also think the pecans are essential for crunch.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 to 4 pounds medium sweet potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
3/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped and toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to the 450 degrees F.

Let cool slPeel the potatoes and cut them crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Arrange them in an 8-by-12-inch baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Flavor the sweet potatoes: Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring the sugar and 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the vinegar and pumpkin pie spice and cook until syrupy, 5 to 8 minutes. Pour over the potatoes.
  • Bake and serve: Toss the marshmallows with the melted butter in a large bowl, use a fine-mesh strainer to sprinkle them evenly with the cayenne and arrange them on the potatoes.

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 to 3 sweet potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 large eggs
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 prebaked Pie Crust for Sweet Potato Pie, or 1 frozen store-bought (9-inch) crust
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup pecans, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • To make the sweet potato puree, cover sweet potatoes with water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; puree in a food processor until completely smooth. Let cool completely before using (refrigerate or freeze for quicker cooling).
  • To make filling, preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth. Add sweet-potato puree, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3/4 cup cream; whisk until completely smooth. Place cooled crust on a rimmed baking sheet; pour filling into crust. (If using a store-bought crust, defrost 10 minutes; prick bottom all over with a fork.)
  • Bake pie on lowest rack of oven until filling is set, about 50 minutes. If crust browns too quickly, tent edges with foil. Transfer pie to a rack to cool, 1 hour; transfer to refrigerator to cool completely.
  • To make the pecan topping, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add remaining 1/2 cup light-brown sugar and pecans. Cook, stirring, until sugar is incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon cream; let cool 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture over cooled pie. With a butter knife or spatula, spread mixture over pie. Cool until topping has hardened, about 30 minutes. (Do not refrigerate again; keep pie in a cool place up to 6 hours.)

This recipe came to The Times in 1983 from Paul Prudhomme, the chef who helped put the cooking of Louisiana on the American culinary map. Like its traditional pecan pie cousin, this is very sweet, so serve it with a little Chantilly cream on top.
