Sweet Potato Gratin With Pecan Crumb Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 deg F with rack in center position.
• Prick potatoes several times with fork and wrap each in foil. Roast until very tender, about 45 minutes.
• Unwrap foil and halve potatoes; scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
• Mash the potatoes with the butter, zest, juices, garlic, allspice and salt to taste. (You can prepare it this far up to two days ahead of time - just store well-covered in the fridge).
• Toss together the bread crumbs, pecans, green onions and Parmesan in a bowl.
• Reduce the heat to 375 deg F and grease a 1 quart pie plate or other shallow ceramic baking dish. Spoon the potatoes into the dish and cover with the crumb mix.
• Bake until the crumbs are golden and the potato mixture is hot, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place potatoes in boiling water and simmer for 20 min, or until tender; drain and cool slightly.
• Place potatoes in a large bowl; add half and half, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp salt and vanilla and beat at medium speed until smooth (or mash with potato masher to desired consistancy).
• Add eggs and mix well; scrape into a 13 x 9 dish coated with cooking spray.
• For topping: sprinkle marshmallows over top.
• Combine flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt in medium bowl.
• Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal; stir in pecans and sprinkle over potatoes.
• Bake for 30-40 min, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. (This will help with cleanup.) Spray a 2-quart shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Using a fork, pierce the sweet potatoes in several places and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until fork-tender, about 50 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.
• When the potatoes are almost tender, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, flour, Parmesan, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Add the milk, oil, and sage. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
• When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes, discarding the skin. Place the pulp in large bowl. Add the brown sugar and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Smash the potatoes with a potato masher until chunky.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Lightly flour your hands and crumble the topping in small, cherry size pieces on top of the sweet potatoes. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Lay on a shallow baking sheet.
• Roast until slightly charred, about 45 minutes, turning regularly to prevent burning on the bottom.
• While potatoes are roasting, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add 3 tablespoons butter and cut into the dry ingredients. Stir in pecans until evenly mixed. Set crumble mixture aside.
• Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Set aside until potatoes are done roasting.
• Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer sweet potatoes to the brown sugar mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.
• Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with crumble mixture, distributing evenly to form a crust.
• Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine cream, butter, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer; remove from heat and mix in parsley, thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• Arrange 1/2 of the sweet potato slices in the prepared baking dish; cover with 1/2 of the Gruyere cheese. Pour cream mixture on top. Arrange remaining sweet potato slices over the cream. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 9-x-13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Combine the first 8 ingredients (garlic through coconut milk) in a medium bowl. Pour one third of this mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Layer half of the sweet potatoes in the bottom, then top with half of the rice, half of the black beans, and half of the spinach. Pour on another third of the coconut mixture (smoothing a bit to distribute evenly), and repeat the layers of sweet potato,rice, beans, and spinach. Pour the remaining coconut mixture over all and smooth to distribute evenly.
• In a small bowl, combine the cornmeal, vegetable oil, thyme, cumin and salt. Sprinkle over prepared gratin.
• Bake, uncovered, for about 60 minutes, rotating pan in oven after 30 minutes to ensure even baking. When finished, the gratin topping should be crisp and slightly golden brown and the potatoes will be tender. Let stand 2 or 3 minutes before serving to allow potatoes to absorb any remaining liquid.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Lighly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Peel and thinly slice potatoes, using a food processor if available. Arrange half of the white and sweet potato slices randomly in the baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the cheeses, thyme, salt and pepper. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle evenly with flour.
• Add the remaining potato slices, and sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture on top.
• Pour the chicken broth and cream over the potatoes.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 1/2 hours, until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, crush the French-fried onions.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and uncover. Sprinkle the crushed onions evenly over the top and return to the oven to bake, uncovered, for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over sweet potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Peel and slice yams 1/8" thick- easily done in a food processer.
• Layer yam slices (overlapping) lengthwise in a 13 x 9 casserole.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Repeat yam and spice layers.
• Pour whipping cream over everything so dish is half full.
• Bake 1 hour.
