Steps:
- Fill a large pan with boiling water from the kettle and set over a medium-high heat. Carefully drop in the whole, unpeeled sweet potatoes and cook for 30 minutes until very tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain well and leave to cool for 10 mins, then peel.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl, add the butter and mash with a potato masher until completely smooth. Tip in the brown sugar, milk, eggs, spices and vanilla and whisk until everything is combined and smooth.
- Lightly butter a 20 x 30cm baking dish, then scrape in the sweet potato mixture. To make the topping, rub the butter into the flour, then stir in the brown sugar, pecans and a good pinch of salt. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato filling, then bake for 45-50 mins until golden on top.

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.

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:
- Choose firm and brightly colored sweet potatoes to ensure they are fresh and flavorful.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, but not too soft as they will continue to cook in the casserole.
- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the jalapeños, removing the ribs and seeds if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Stir the casserole occasionally while baking to ensure even cooking and prevent the cheese from browning too quickly.
- Top the casserole with additional shredded cheese or chopped green onions before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
The Sweet Potato Jalapeño Casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. The combination of sweet potatoes, jalapeños, cheese, and spices creates a unique and flavorful casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table.
