I love restaurants that offer baked white or baked sweet potato (Like Texas Roadhouse Grill). It's great. I also love sweet potato fries.

We eat them several ways, but I really like them roasted:
Wash potatoes, leave the skin on, cut into bite sized chunks, place on foil lined baking pan, drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper. Bake @ 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until fork goes in easily. |
Let me start off by saying I hated sweet potatoes before trying this recipe.
It is two parts - the first part I use for whenever I just want sweet potatoes and the second is my Thanksgiving and Christmas favorite. Mashed Sweet Potatoes 4 Tbs unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces 2 Tbs heavy cream 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 large or 3 medium) peeled, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4" thick slices. Pinch of black pepper Combine butter, cream, salt, sugar and sweet potatoes in a 3-4 qt saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork (about 35 to 45 minutes). Off the heat, mash the sweet potatoes in the saucepan with a potato masher. Stir in pepper and serve immediately. Thanksgiving Day Sweet Potato Casserole 3-4 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (from recipe above) 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup milk 3 eggs beaten 1 tsp vanilla Topping: 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup butter 1 cup pecans Mix together sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla. Pour into a 9x9 inch baking dish. Combine the brown sugar, flour, butter and pecans. Top sweet potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Serves 10. Barb12makeitsew |
The way we have always done sweet potatoes in my family was to wash and peel them,(about 5 or 6), cut into chunks(my husband does this with an electric knife) then boil till tender. Then drain and put in cast iron dutch oven skillet. Then add 1 stick of margarine, about 1/2 cup of white karo syrup, & brown sugar using the "add and taste" method. It all depends on how sweet you want them to be. If you want the pumpkin pie taste then I would add pumpkin pie spice, using small amount at a time and taste before adding more. We always used an old fashioned potato masher to mix and mash everything together. Have you heat between low and medium so they don't scorch and just let them simmer stirring often to make sure they are not sticking and adjusting heat down if need be. They are always a family favorite during the holidays. Very yummy!! There are never any leftovers.

racheal ray had one on her show yesterday 30 min. meals at 6 pm it sounded good

I'm wondering, after reading all these tasty recipes, if the caterers just added pumpkin pie spice along with some butter and brown sugar? Someone at work suggested I find a sweet potato pie recipe and just not make it as a pie.
I've never had sweet potato pie either (!) but I'm thinking this would work? BTW thanks to everyone for their recipes! |

I could smell cinnamon but that's all I could figure out. I've never eaten sweet potatoes before, if you can believe that. My parents, in-laws etc are strictly white potato folks. So I was really surprised how good they were. I want to make them for the holidays. I've googled and found several recipes but some require eggs, but some don't, alot say add marshmallows although I didn't see any in the meal I had. I'm not sure which recipe would be what I'm looking for. Do any of you have a favorite mashed sweet potato recipe that tastes almost like pumpkin pie? Thanks- |
