Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), scrubbed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the preparing the pan
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pierce each one 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool.

Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Scoop the sweet potato out of their skins and into a medium bowl. Discard the skins. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the eggs, butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and the pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture until smooth.

Butter an 8-by-8-inch casserole. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pan and sprinkle the top with the pecans. Bake until puffed, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Good, not very sweet
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Easy to make. I like my sweet potatoes, sweet. I added extra brown sugar, still wasn't sweet enough. Good recipe, I will just... add more brown sugar next time and maybe more butter.Read more

Bug thanksgiving hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even the most finiky eaters at thanksgiving loved this recipe. It was light, sweet, creamy, and the flavors worked really... well together. It dies taste a lot like sweet potato pie without the pie shell. I did leave off the nuts from the top (due to allergies). There were some at dinner who suggested marshmellows on top. I may try that next time.Read more
