SOUL SWEET 'TATERS

Steps:

• Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375-degree oven until fork tender, about 30-35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl.
• Add 1 cup of (regular granulated) sugar, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough-you don't want to be perfectly smooth.
• Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped (that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them), ½ cup flour, and ¾ stick of butter. With a pastry cutter or fork, mash together until thoroughly combined.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top.
• Bake in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

SOUL SWEET 'TATERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on the oven rack and bake until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. When the potatoes are finished cooking, let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Slice them open lengthwise and scrape out the flesh with a fork into a large bowl. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Add the granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and salt to the bowl with the sweet potatoes. Mash the mixture with a potato masher until combined and slightly lumpy-you don't want it to be perfectly smooth.
• Now, in a separate bowl, mash the brown sugar, pecans, flour and butter with a pastry cutter or fork until thoroughly combined. The mixture should resemble a crumble.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture in a 14-cup oval-shaped baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

SLOW COOKER SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch in a bowl to coat well. Add the mixture to a slow cooker and dot with the butter. Sprinkle over the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and cayenne. Pour in the vanilla, orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low, stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are tender, about 3 hours.
• Toss the potatoes once more and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the walnuts and parsley and serve.

SWEET POTATO AND MUSHROOM CARBONARA

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and pass through a spiralizer. You should get about 6 cups of "noodles." Cut the noodles with scissors to make 8- to 10-inch pieces.
• Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper-lined plate, add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the baby kale, red pepper flakes, garlic and some salt and pepper, then cook for 30 seconds just to soften.
• Add the sweet potato noodles and 3/4 cup water to the pan and gently toss to cook the noodles until they are just approaching al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Add an additional 1/4 cup water, if necessary, to "steam" the noodles.
• Beat the Parmesan and eggs together in a bowl. Roughly chop the bacon.
• Turn the heat off under the noodles and add the egg mixture. Toss to coat the noodles well. Top with more cheese and sprinkle with the bacon, lots of cracked black pepper and the chives or parsley.

SMALL-BATCH SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Combine the sweet potatoes, half-and-half, butter, brown sugar, nutmeg if using and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes begin to break down, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, covered, stirring occasionally and breaking up the pieces as you stir, until the sweet potatoes are completely tender and have almost entirely fallen apart, another 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the upper-third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Add the cream cheese to the saucepan. Mix with a handheld mixer until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sweet potatoes are smooth.
• Use a spatula to transfer 1 cup of the sweet potato mixture to each of four 1-cup ramekins. Top each ramekin with a 1/3 cup of the mini marshmallows. Bake until the marshmallows are puffed and browned, about 5 minutes.
