Lots of people brought different dishes for our Thanksgiving meal, which helped out a lot in our little kitchen. My dish was Sweet Potato Casserole. This was the first time I’ve made it and it was very out of my tradition when it came to adding the marshmallows on top of mashed potato, but I’m a convert. So here’s the recipe...
This was to feed about 20 people.
5kg Sweet Potatoes
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 eggs
Peel, chop and boil the potatoes, then mash. Add the sugar, milk and spice, and mix together. Add the eggs and mix. Pour the mixture into a dish.
For the topping we did one casserole with marshmallows and one with a crumble top. The crumble topping was
1 cup light brown soft sugar
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup melted butter
Mix these together then sprinkle on top of the casserole, or lay marshmallows on top instead.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at gas mark 4/350 F/180C.
* one handy hint, in the UK we tend to sell marshmallows in packets that have a mix of white and pink. So I found I needed 2 packets to have enough white ones for the topping. Now I’m left with lots of pink marshmallows. But that’s no problem, they’ll be fine for the hot chocolate in the coming months.
The result. 2 sweet potato casseroles. Sweet and delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!
