Menu Planner Menu Planner   PRALINE SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE  

 
INGREDIENTS

6 large dark-orange fleshed sweet potatoes (about 5½ pounds), scrubbed
3/4 c. nonfat milk
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter (use ¼ less butter to reduce the fat in his recipe)
3 LARGE eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. salt
1 c. packed DARK brown sugar
Praline Topping –
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
3/4 c. packed DARK brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 to 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
3/4 c. heavy whipping cream
2 c. coarsely chopped pecans
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
RECIPE

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Pierce each potato several times. Place in baking pan and bake until potatoes are tender – about 1 to 1½ hours. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • In a small sauce pan, heat the milk and butter until butter is melted and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  • Cut potatoes in half; scoop out the flesh to a food processor or large bowl if using a mixer.
  • Process the potatoes or mash them until smooth. Stir in the milk mixture whisking in the eggs until well combined.
  • Add the salt and brown sugar. Continue to mix until well combined.
  • Place in well buttered 9x13" casserole or 3-quart casserole (do not fill too high). Set aside.

Praline Topping –
  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cream, and pecans. Heat to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. (Watch carefully).
  • If the mixture begins to boil and splatter, turn down the heat to maintain a simmer.
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and pour topping evenly over potatoes spreading with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake casserole on baking sheet to catch spills until the topping is slightly crusty and set – about 40-45 minutes. Serve immediately.

Note: This recipe may be frozen and saved for a holiday meal.
