Any awesome sweet potato recipes?!
Answers: i bought real maple syrup, i have every ingredient known to man for baking needs and i bought a 5lb. bag of sweet potatoes. i bought the maple syrup because i remember making this 7 yrs ago and it was in the recipe. but i forgot to research a recipe before going grocery shopping today! the store is a mad house btw and i was under pressure to try to remember what i put in it. ooo i also bought heavy cream....is that in the recipe aswell?
If it were me, I'd prepare the potatoes, put in about a cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of butter, a cup of heavy cream, and a good tsp of salt, a tbsp cinnamon and a tbsp good vanilla extract. I'd mash it all up together, put it in a baking pan, and save until you're ready to cook it. I'd reheat it at 350 degrees for 45 min, then cover with marshmallows and give it an additional 10 min at 400 degrees.
Kraft has a great recipe on their site, if you can find it--with cream cheese or neufachel and pecans on top.

http://www.cooks.com/rec/search?q=sweet+...
I use cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
maple syrup
brown sugar
crushed pineapple
cinnamon and ginger to taste
mush all together - taste to see if it's sweet enough (if not - add more brown sugar and maple syrup_
place in greased casserole pan
bake until cooked through.
Take out of oven - top with marshmallows - and broil briefly until marshmallows brown.
Here's one I came up with that is so good.......
clean and skin sweet potatoes
Mix a stick of butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar together
Pour butter and brown sugar over sweet potatoes
Add 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon and nutmeg
sprinkle 1/2-1 cup of pecans
Bake at 350 until sweet potatoes are done.
Delicious
I just bake them the old fashioned way- for an hour or so in a hot oven.
Scoop out the insides and you can add some salt, nutmeg, Cinnamon, butter and cream.Just mash with a fork.
You can add more butter and your maple syrup[ just a little to the top before baking it] and then bake till it looks yummy !
try them mashed with a little bit of brown sugar and butter.
or slice them in 1/8th in slices, spritz with olive oil and sprinkle with celery salt (or another seasoning, i bet mrs dash would be good) and bake until they're tender.
A popular local restaurant serves this during Nov& Dec. only. There were so many requests for the recipe, they finally sent it to our local paper!! It is just melt in your mouth wonderful... and none of that canned stuff !!!
