Categories     Potato     Bake     Thanksgiving     Dinner

Yield 6-8 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

4tablespoon (1/2 stick)unsalted butter, melted 2 sweet potatoes (about 1 lb.)
2 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1/2teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup finely ground white or yellow cornmeal
4 eggs, separated
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a 2-quart souffle or casserole dish with about 1 tablespoon of the butter; set aside. 2. Wrap potatoes in foil. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until soft to the touch. Remove from oven; discard foil. When cool enough to handle, remove and discard peels. In a large bowl, mash potatoes. 3. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. In a large saucepan, bring milk, thyme, brown sugar, salt, and pepper to a low boil over medium heat. In a slow, steady stream, whisk cornmeal into milk mixture. Cook, whisking constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes, until mixture is thick and pulls away from bottom of pan. (this didn't take me that long,maybe 3 minutes) Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add potatoes, egg yolks, remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and baking powder to cornmeal mixture; stir to thoroughly combine. 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Leaving obvious swirls of egg white, gently fold egg whites into the potato-cornmeal mixture. 5. Spoon batter into prepared dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Edges will be firm and the center a bit soft. Remove from oven. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
