Best Restaurant Style Sweet Potato Casserole Recipes

RUTH'S CHRIS SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a medium-size casserole dish with nonstick spray.
• For the crust: Combine brown sugar, flour, nuts and butter in mixing bowl. Chill in the fridge until ready to use. This helps the crumble maintain its form and not melt into the sweet potatoes.
• Combine sweet potatoes, sugar, salt, vanilla, eggs and butter in a large mixing bowl in the order listed. Beat thoroughly with a hand mixer for about 3-4 minutes to increase the fluffiness of the sweet potato mixture. Add a splash of milk if needed and mix.
• Pour mixture into the baking dish (I use around a 2 quart dish). Bake for 25 minutes. At this point, dish can be covered and refrigerated for a couple of days if making ahead of time.
• *If you refrigerated ahead of time make sure to reheat the potatoes again before adding the crust - around 10-20 minutes.
• Sprinkle the surface of the sweet potato mixture evenly with the crust mixture and return to oven for 10-20 minutes or until crumble is browned. Allow to set at least 30 minutes before serving.
• The brown sugar and pecan crust should be slightly browned and crunchy. Makes 10 servings.

VEGAN SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the sweet potatoes: Put the sweet potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Season with a good pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, lower to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well and return the potatoes to the pot.
• Add the coconut milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt; use a potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes until the mixture very smooth (see Cook's Note). Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
• For the nut topping: While the potatoes are cooking, add the walnuts, pecans, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt to a food processor and pulse a few times until evenly and finely chopped (the nuts should be small but not pulverized). Add the coconut oil and pulse a few more times until the mixture is fully moistened and combined.
• Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly over the sweet potato filling. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is heated through, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the casserole cool 5 minutes before serving.

RESTAURANT-STYLE SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Rub the skin of each sweet potato with vegetable oil; place potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour; remove and cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, scrape flesh into a large bowl; discard skins. Beat sweet potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Measure 6 cups of mashed sweet potato into a large bowl; beat in 3/4 cup brown sugar, cream, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt. Pour sweet potato mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Place the rolled oats into the bowl of a food processor or blender, and pulse until oats are finely ground. Place oats, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, flour, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon into a bowl. Cut 2 tablespoons cold butter into the oat mixture with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly; sprinkle evenly over sweet potato mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potatoes are heated through and oatmeal streusel is lightly browned, 70 to 80 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle immediately with marshmallows, and let stand until marshmallows are melted, about 10 minutes.
