SORGHUM SWEET POTATOES

The chile in this dish balances the sweetness of the potatoes, and the butter makes everything richer and more opulent. The chef Hugh Acheson said, "I left off the little marshmallows because I think we need to evolve...and my dentist friends would get mad at me." You can garnish sweet potatoes with a variety of things from cooked apples, to more cooked chiles, to hazelnuts or even a dollop of yogurt.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 red jalapeño, minced
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vegetable stock
2 tablespoons sorghum or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cook until tender.
  • While the sweet potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan, and when the butter bubbles and froths, add the jalapeno and the orange zest. Cook for 1 minute, turn off the heat and then add the cream. Set aside.
  • When the sweet potatoes are fork tender, drain them in a colander set up in your sink. Let them drain completely, and then pass them through a ricer or mash them well with a potato masher.
  • Add the flavored cream, stock, sorghum, nutmeg and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and transfer to a serving bowl.

THE BEST SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



The Best Sweet Potato Casserole image

We opted for a nutty crumb topping over marshmallows to create a pleasantly crunchy contrast to the creamy and soft mashed sweet potatoes. The filling gets a pumpkin pie-like treatment, with brown sugar and vanilla for a deep caramel flavor and butter and eggs for richness. This recipe is bound to become a holiday staple.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the baking dish
3 to 4 large sweet potatoes (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled and cubed
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For the sweet potatoes: Add 1 3/4 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Mash the sweet potatoes.
  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl until moist and the mixture clumps together. Stir in the pecans. Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake until mostly set in the center and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • For a creamier casserole, use full-fat coconut milk or dairy milk instead of almond milk.
  • If you don't have sorghum syrup, you can substitute maple syrup or brown sugar.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, bake it according to the directions, then let it cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
  • For a crispy topping, use a combination of pecans and walnuts.
  • If you want a sweeter casserole, add an extra 1/4 cup of sorghum syrup or maple syrup to the filling.
  • For a more savory casserole, add a pinch of salt and pepper to the filling.
  • Serve the casserole with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato casserole with sorghum is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. Whether you like it sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, this casserole is sure to please everyone at your table.
