Sweet Potato Poutine image

Sweet potato casserole gets a tricky makeover. What looks like a plate of poutine (french fries topped with gravy and cheese curds), is actually a familiar sweet trio: sweet potatoes, brown sugar and toasted marshmallows.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 20-ounce bag frozen sweet potato fries
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Prepare the fries according to the package directions. Keep the oven on after they are done baking.
  • Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the sauce comes to a full and rolling boil, cook for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and keep the sauce warm.
  • Whisk together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss the hot baked fries in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated. Pile them into an 8- to 9-inch heatproof serving dish and scatter the marshmallows over the top. Put the serving dish on a baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake until the marshmallows soften and just start to brown on top, about 5 minutes. Drizzle with the warm brown sugar sauce before serving.
