Lori's Nutty Yam Bake
I have a confession to make: I hate sweet potatoes. I don't particularly care for them in anyway, shape or form. So when my stepsister served up something that was absolutely delicious, reminiscent of the spices in apple pie, I asked what was in it: Sweet potatoes. I'm a convert!! So without further ado - here is the secret recipe.
Ingredients:
3 Korean Yams (red skinned sweet potatoes to me have the best flavor)
1 C sugar
1/4 C Butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 C milk
2 eggs
For the topping:
1/2 C flour
1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 C butter (Cold)
1/2 C pecans - chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1. Poke holes in the potatoes and cook them in the microwave for about 12 minutes, depending on size. The potatoes should be very tender when fully cooked. Cool the potatoes and remove the peel when done.
2. Place all the ingredients in the first group in food processor and pulse until fully pureed.
3. Pour into a rectangular baking dish.
4. Rinse out the processor bowl and add the ingredients for the topping, omitting the pecans. Pulse until a crumbly mixture is formed.
5. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the potato mix
6. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top
7. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes until golden.
8. Serve hot
Serves up to 6 people.
