Streusel Sweet Potatoes image

*Adopted Recipe* This is a wonderful side dish from the Woman's Day Cookbook. I made these as a holiday side dish for the first time about 9 years ago, and they have been in regular rotation since. It looks gorgeous on the table, too.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 lbs medium sweet potatoes, peeled
3/4 cup maple syrup (divided use)
1/3 cup orange juice

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar

  • Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until firm-tender when tested with a fork.
  • Drain and cool under cold water.
  • Cut in 1/2-inch thick slices, and arrange the slices in the casserole dish in a spiral pattern, overlapping slices slightly.
  • Mix 1/2 cup of the syrup with the orange juice, pour over potatoes.
  • Dot with 1 Tablespoon of the butter.
  • Cover tightly with foil, and bake for 20-30 minutes, until hot and the potatoes have absorbed some liquid.

  • Mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon, and using two knives or a pastry cutter cut in remaining 3 Tablespoons butter until mixture is the texture of coarse meal.
  • Toss in pecans.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and sprinkle with streusel mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 15 more minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned.
  • Pour the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup over the potatoes and serve immediately.
