Drunken Sweet Potato Casserole Food

DRUNKEN SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside. Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a pan of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 35 minutes or until tender. Drain the potatoes well and let cool slightly. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl with the butter and beat on medium speed with the mixer. Add the sugar, salt, and whiskey and mix well. Spread half the sweet potato mixture in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with half of the chopped nuts. Spread the remaining sweet potato mixture on top, then top with the remaining nuts. Place the casserole in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 35 minutes or until bubbly in the center. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until done.
• Skin and mash potatoes while still warm. Add butter and salt to taste. Add milk until the consistency is like creamy mashed potatoes.
• Put potatoes in a 2 quart casserole dish. Scoop a hollow in the center of the potatoes and create a rim of potatoes around the edge of the pan. Set aside.
• In a double boiler, cook 1/4 lb butter, brown sugar, egg, and bourbon, stirring constantly, until thickened (1/2-3/4 hour--in my experience it never really thickens).
• Poor this syrup into the center hollow of the casserole and over the whole top.
• Line the edges of the casserole with the mini marshmallows.
• Bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until the sauce is a very dark brown.

CHEF JOHN'S SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
• Place sweet potato cubes into a large pot, cover with water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife is easily inserted into a sweet potato cube, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Return to the pot and mash 2 tablespoons butter into sweet potatoes.
• Whisk eggs, maple syrup, buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually mash sweet potatoes into egg mixture, starting with 2 tablespoons of sweet potato mixture, until all sweet potatoes are incorporated. Transfer sweet potatoes into prepared baking dish.
• Mix pistachios, brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 cup melted butter together until completely mixed. Crumble topping evenly over top of sweet potatoes. Use the back of a fork to gently press pistachio mixture down onto sweet potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is browned and casserole is set, 25 to 30 minutes. If desired, place under oven's broiler for 5 minutes to give topping a little more brown color. Let rest to cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.
