Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallow Streusel Topping Food

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOWS AND STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 2 or 2 1/2 quart casserole dish (preferably a rectangle or oval so there's a decent surface area for the topping; I use an 8x11) and set aside.
• Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until tender (about 7 minutes, depending on the size). Drain really well and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and salt to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Use a hand mixer, if desired, to make them extra smooth. Taste the potatoes and add additional seasonings, if desired.
• Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared casserole dish. Place in the oven until heated through (if they're already warm it will only take a few minutes). While the sweet potatoes are heating, prepare the topping.
• In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt (I use a fork or rubber spatula to stir and mash the mixture), then mix in pecans.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Top with half the marshmallows, then sprinkle half the streusel over the marshmallows (pinching pieces together with your fingers). Top with the other half of the marshmallows and sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top. Place back into the oven for 8-15 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and golden brown (keep an eye on it so the marshmallows don't burn). You can also place it under the broiler very briefly to add a little more color to the marshmallows. Note: the longer it is in the oven the more likely that the marshmallows will begin to melt. Allow to sit at room temperature for several minutes before serving.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MARSHMALLOW STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• 1. Peel sweet potatoes. Dice into 1-inch cubes. Add to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender about 15-20 minutes. 2. Drain sweet potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash well so that there are no big chunks. 3. Add softened butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix by hand or for a smoother texture, with a hand mixer or electric mixer. Stir until completely combined then mix in eggs until incorporated. 4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter or grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and transfer the sweet potato mixture to the dish. 5. For the topping, in a medium bowl, combine all topping ingredients: flour, brown sugar, melted butter, oats, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the streusel evenly over the casserole. 6. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees, until set in the middle and golden on top. Top with 2-3 cups of mini marshmallows and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the marshmallows are lightly brown and puffy. 7. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• For the filling: Roast the sweet potatoes on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet for approximately one hour, or until tender. Cut the sweet potatoes in half and cool until able to touch. Peel and mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher. (This should yield approximately 4 cups.)
• In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon the sweet potatoes into a lightly greased 1-1/2 to 2-quart casserole dish.
• For the streusel topping: In a medium bowl combine the brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the brown sugar mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the walnuts. Sprinkle the streusel over the sweet potato mixture. Bake the casserole until the streusel is golden brown and bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Coat a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, make the topping. Put the gingersnaps, flour, sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in a food processor; pulse once or twice to combine. Add the butter and pulse a few more times. (the cookies should still be in small chunks).
• Remove the skins from the potatoes. Make into a chunky puree using a blender, food processor, or by hand using a potato masher.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, half and half, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, and remaining 1 tsp salt. Add the potato puree; mix thoroughly.
