Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes
4 eggs, separated
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
¼ cup sugar

Steps:

  • Place the cubed sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  • Place the cooked sweet potatoes, egg yolks, butter, and salt into the work bowl of an electric mixer, and beat on high speed until the sweet potatoes are creamy and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, and level the top with a spoon. Sprinkle raisins and walnuts over the top of the casserole, and lightly press them into the surface of the sweet potatoes.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the sugar and continue beating until the meringue is glossy and holds soft peaks, 2 to 3 more minutes. Spread the meringue over the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and the meringue is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

3-4 large sweet potatoes or yams, washed
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Steps:

Bake on a cookie sheet at 375-400 for approx. 60-75 minutes (potatoes are done if they're soft when pinched). 2. Remove potatoes from oven and place on counter to cool. Carefully pull open the tinfoil. Cut them open,if desired, for faster cooling. 3. While potatoes are cooling, mix together ingredients for crunchy topping and set aside. 4. Once potatoes are room temperature, mash them in a large bowl. 5. Add brown sugar, butter, milk, and eggs and mix together. Pour all ingredients into a 9x13 greased pan or casserole dish. 6. Sprinkle crunchy topping on the potato mixture and bake, uncovered, at 350 for about 45-60 minutes. Sweet potato puff is done when topping is golden in color. 7. Top with whipped cream and serve warm for dessert. Or serve without topping as a sweet side dish.

Queen Puff's Sweet Potato Casserole image

I'm often requested to bring this dish to family get togethers, especially for the holidays. I love having this with a spiral ham. Many of the ingredients may be omitted if there is something your family does not like, for example, raisins, pecans or marshmellows.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 45m

Yield 1 pan, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 medium sweet potatoes, cooked
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
1 cup marshmallows
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º
  • Spray baking pan with cooking spray.
  • While sweet potatoes are still warm in a mixing bowl, mix in butter, sugars, cinnamon, eggs, milk and vanilla.
  • Fold in raisins and pecans, if desired.
  • Spread in baking dish.
  • Make topping mix, which consists of the last 3 ingredients. Mix brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Add to top of sweet potatoes.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • After removing casserole from oven, place marshmallows on top. You may want to add a small amount of brown sugar, cinnamon and/or pecans on top of marshmallows.
  • Bake 5-10 minutes more until marshmallows brown to your liking.

Tips:

  • For perfectly crispy puffs, make sure to use cold sweet potato puree. This will help the puffs hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the sweet potato mixture.
  • Be careful not to overfill the piping bag, as this can make it difficult to control the flow of the mixture and could result in messy puffs.
  • If you're using a deep fryer, make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the puffs. The ideal temperature is between 350°F and 375°F.
  • Don't overcrowd the fryer, as this can cause the puffs to stick together and not cook evenly.
  • Serve the puffs immediately after they're cooked, while they're still hot and crispy.
