Sweet Potato and Sage-Butter Casserole image

Sage adds a savory note to sweet-potato casserole. Best of all: It can be made two days before the meal.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus 1 ounce (2 tablespoons), melted
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (from 3 slices white bread, crusts removed)

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes and potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water, and season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 9 minutes. Drain; pass through a ricer into a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1 stick butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; add 2 tablespoons sage. Stir butter mixture and milk into potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 2-quart casserole dish. (Mixture can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
  • Combine breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter and remaining 1/2 tablespoon sage. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Top potato mixture with breadcrumbs. Bake, uncovered, until bubbling around edges and breadcrumbs are golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. (If browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Let stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I thought this casserole was pretty good. The sage butter was really flavorful and helped to balance out the sweetness of the potatoes.

This casserole was a disaster! The sweet potatoes were undercooked and the sage butter was way too salty. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This was a delicious and easy casserole to make. I used a mix of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of crumbled bacon to the sage butter, which gave it a nice smoky flavor.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The sweet potatoes were a little dry and the sage butter didn't really add much flavor. I probably won't make this again.
