By arthurlemay

A delicious alternative to the standard sweet potato casserole served during the holidays.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• Sour cream, for garnish
• Fresh sprigs parsley, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Butter a casserole dish

Place all ingredients in mixing bowl. Blend at medium speed until well combined, then beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Spoon mixture into the buttered casserole dish.

Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of fresh parsley.

Serve immediately.
