Sweet And Savory Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe By Tasty Food

SAVORY SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place the sweet potatoes in a large stockpot. Fill the pot with cold water, enough that the water line sits about 1 inch above the potatoes. Stir the garlic and 1 tablespoon sea salt into the water. Turn the heat to high and cook until the water comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high (or whatever temperature is needed to maintain the boil) and continue cooking the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of a potato goes in easily with almost no resistance. Carefully drain out all of the water.
• Meanwhile, as the sweet potatoes are boiling, heat the butter, milk, smoked paprika, and an additional 1.5 teaspoons of sea salt together either in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter is just melted and warm. (You want to avoid boiling the milk.) Set aside until ready to use.
• After draining the water, immediately return the sweet potatoes to the hot stockpot, place it back on the hot burner, and turn the heat down to low. Using two oven mitts, carefully hold the handles on the stockpot and shake it gently on the burner for about 1 minute to help cook off some of the remaining steam within the potatoes. Remove the stockpot entirely from the heat and set it on a flat, heatproof surface.
• Using your preferred kind of potato masher (I recommend this one in general, or this one for extra-smooth), mash the sweet potatoes to your desired consistency. Pour the melted butter mixture over the potatoes, and fold it in with a wooden spoon or spatula until potatoes have soaked up the liquid. Give the mixture a taste, and season with extra salt, pepper, and/or smoked paprika as needed, to taste. Set aside.
• In a separate small bowl, stir together the maple rosemary walnut topping ingredients until evenly combined.
• Heat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch pan with baking spray. Spread the mashed sweet potatoes in an even layer in the pan, and sprinkle evenly with the walnut topping. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the walnuts are toasted and fragrant (but not burnt) and the potatoes are warmed through. Transfer baking pan to a wire rack.
• Then serve warm, garnished with fresh chives, extra black pepper, or any extra toppings that sound good!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and poke each one a few times with a fork. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very soft. Remove from the oven and let cool until easy to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°F).
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the thyme and rosemary, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onions cool slightly.
• Scoop the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a large bowl, discarding the skins. Add the cream, egg, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Add the onions and Gruyère cheese, and stir to incorporate.
• Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 9-inch square glass baking dish.
• Make the topping: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the stuffing and stir until warmed through and slightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle the crumbled stuffing evenly over the sweet potatoes. Crumble the bacon and evenly sprinkle on top.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, until heated through. If desired, remove the foil and broil on high until the topping is lightly browned, 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on the casserole so it does not burn.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
