NOT TOO SWEET SWEET POTATOES



Not Too Sweet Sweet Potatoes image

I needed a good sweet potato recipe for Thanksgiving that satisfied the marshmallow topping brigade as well as those of us who didn't want something quite so sweet. So I played around with a variety of recipes and came up with this. It's definitely sweet, but not too sweet. And no marshmallow in sight!

NOT SWEET, SWEET POTATOES



Not Sweet, Sweet Potatoes image

My husband and I love this recipe. They are very easy to make and make a delicious side for steak. Did you know....one baked sweet potato provides over 8,800 IU of vitamin A or about twice the recommended daily allowance, yet it contains only 141 calories. This nutritious vegetable provides 42 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C, 6 percent of the RDA for calcium, 10 percent of the RDA for iron, and 8 percent of the RDA for thiamine for healthy adults. It is low in sodium and is a good source of fiber and other important vitamins and minerals including beta carotene.

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Sides

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lb sweet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
cold water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the sweet potatoes and potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Set aside.

  • Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and mash with a hand masher until smooth. Season to taste with pepper and salt.
  • Garnish with chives, if desired.

  • Enjoy!

NOT SO SWEET SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Not so Sweet Sweet Potato Casserole image

This recipe is very different from the typical sweet potato casseroles topped with marshmallows you might often see on the Thanksgiving table. First of all, no marshmallows or brown sugar anywhere in sight. In fact, the only sugar in this recipe comes naturally from the potatoes themselves and the juice. Topped with cheese and baked til warm and yummy :) A nice change of pace.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 lbs sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup apple cider or 3/4 cup apple juice

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake potatoes whole, in their skins on a foil lined jelly roll pan until they are soft when pierced with a fork (about 1-1 1/4 hours, depending on the actual size of your potatoes).

  • Cook the potatoes by either roasting at 400 F for 30-40 minutes in the oven. Alternatively, cook the potatoes in the microwave. Pierce the potato skins all over with a fork, place on a microwave-safe plate, and cover with a wet paper towel. Cook at full power for 5 minutes, rotate the potatoes, and cook in intervals of 2 minutes until potatoes are done. Mine took 9 minutes total. **see notes**
  • While the potatoes cool enough to handle, prepare your baking dish by greasing with a little butter or nonstick spray. I used a 7" round for a thicker casserole, but you may also use an 8x8" square. If you are doubling the recipe, I would use a 9" pie dish or 9x9" square, tripling the recipe would require a 9x13" baking dish.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin and place the still-warm potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add the butter, salt, and sour cream and mash together until you've reached a smooth consistency.
