Posted on 11/13/17 at 1:31 pm

It seems to be top 3 in the favorite sides dish, and I have to cook it twice over the next 2 weeks. So what do you put in yours?
Sweet potatoes
brown sugar
cinnamon
pecans
marshmallow (optional)
What else?

No marshmallows

A little Vanilla Extract is good...Lots of pecans...As far as marshmallows, if it is not covered with them they are not bad..

No marshmallows, we top with a flour, butter, pecan and brown sugar mix. That stuff is like crack.

How does this work? Like a lite butter roux with brown sugar and pecans? And just pour it over the top?

From the recipe collection:
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with Apples and Raisins
This is so awesome, even people who say they don't like sweet potato will love it:
1 Tbs unsalted butter
3 tart apples, cut into small pieces
2 Tbs brown sugar
2 lbs sweet potatoes, also cut into small bite size pieces
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 Tbs flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chicken broth, fat free
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1. Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9 by 13 cooking dish with Pam (or similar).
2. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over med. heat. Add the apples and stir, cooking for about a minute or two until the apples start to release a bit of juice.
3. Add the brown sugar, then cook for two minutes until the apples start to get soft. Place the apples, sweet potatoes and raisins in the baking dish.
4. Now, place the flour and cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the broth until it all dissolves, then add in the rest of the broth and pour the whole thing over the fruit and into the dish.
5. Cover loosely with foil and bake for one hour, then remove foil and sprinkle in the pecans and bake a few more minutes until the pecans are toasted.

We have always used the recipe in Cotton Country cookbook.
However, I bake the sweet potatoes rather than boiling them. So much easier to put them on some nonstick foil, bake and then scoop out the meat.
The casserole freezes well unbaked without the topping. Probably freezes fine with the topping, but it's easy to mix up, so if I'm making the casseroles ahead of time, I just freeze the potatoes.
Sweet Potato Casserole
3 cups sweet potatoes, about 4 good-sized ones
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk
TOPPING:
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Boil and mash potatoes. Mix in sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and milk. Put in 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Topping: Melt butter and mix in remaining ingredients. Sprinkle on top of potato mixture. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Serves 10 to 12.

Basically Gris Gris nailed it. Make more than one, they go quick.

Maybe a touch of nutmeg.
Saw Gris Gris post after doing this.
Do it her way.

all good suggestions...I do mine a little different. skin and cut potatoes to chunks the size of golf balls and boil them until almost but not quite fork tender. 4-5 large potatoes
In large skillet melt 1/2 stick butter, 1/2 cup oj and 3/4 cup brown sugar simmer to thicken, add potatoes, tblspoon cinnamon, gentle spoon sauce over potatoes to coat, being careful not to break them up, too much, while still simmering slowly add pecans about 3/4 cup.
Poor into Pam sprayed 13x9 or so casserole dish, then simply push a large marshmellow into mixture so there is about and inch between. Maybe 8-12
Bake in oven until mallow is melted and bubbling hot. 20-30 min

Gris Gris nailed it. Baking the sweet potatoes is the way to go. They have so much more flavor than the boiled ones.

My wife makes this recipe every year and it’s very good. The cornflakes topping is great

That's very similar to the one I make. Simple but delicious.

Gris Gris' recipe is our "family" recipe as well.
People freak out for that shite. I'm in charge of that and garlic cheese grits every year.
