Sweet potato casserole

Just cooked a mean sweet potato casserole - based on the Del Frisco side dish. Definitely one for Thanksgiving!

  1. 7 sweet potatoes - peel and wrap in tin foil then bake for 1.5hrs at 350F
  2. Mix 2 eggs, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup demerera sugar, 1 tsp salt, 50g melted butter
  3. Once the sweet potatoes are done mix in with the above mixture and whisk until smooth.
  4. Put the sweet potato mixture in an oven proof pan.
  5. In a pan mix 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar, 50g butter and 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Top the sweet potato mixture with the pecans and cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
Very yum. Next dish to try is succotash - we had it at Red Rooster and it was very nice.
