Fayebird’s Sweet Potato Recipe

By ldelmas

To make this recipe ahead of time, assemble the potato portion and refrigerate. Add the topping just before baking and cook an extra 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• Potatoes:
• 1 (40 oz) can sweet potatoes, drained (or about 3 cups fresh potatoes)
• 3/4 cup sugar (I use a liquid measuring cup—it’s one less dish to clean up!)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, very soft or melted
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Praline Topping (you may want to double this topping!)
• 1 cup chopped pecans (use that same measuring cup to save dishes!)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup flour
• 3/4 cup corn flakes
• 1 cup Granny Smith apples, peeled and finely diced

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the potatoes and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer then add in the butter, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
3. Spoon the potatoes into a 9"x 13” casserole dish. (If you use a Temp-tations® dish, there’s no need to grease it!)
4. To make the praline topping, combine all the ingredients (except the apples) with your hand or stand mixer (on the slowest speed).
5. Sprinkle the topping over the potatoes and then add the apples.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until warmed through.
