SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

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.

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.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect sweet potato casserole roses, choose sweet potatoes that are firm and evenly shaped. Avoid any potatoes that have blemishes or cuts.
  • When cutting the sweet potatoes into thin slices, use a sharp knife and be careful not to cut yourself. If you have a mandolin slicer, you can use that to make the slices even thinner and more uniform.
  • When rolling up the sweet potato slices, start from the thin end and roll them up tightly. This will help the roses hold their shape when they are baked.
  • Before baking the roses, brush them with melted butter or oil. This will help them to brown and crisp up in the oven.
  • Serve the sweet potato casserole roses immediately after they are baked. They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Sweet potato casserole roses are a delicious and beautiful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your taste.
