40 minThis is the sweet potato casserole that earns a permanent spot on the holiday table.
Mashed sweet potatoes get whipped with buttermilk, brown sugar, and melted margarine until smooth, then a hit of cinnamon and nutmeg brings that warm, holiday-spice aroma.
The batter starts out soupy on purpose. An hour in a 350F oven transforms it into a set, custard-like casserole with caramelized edges.
It feeds 10 with practically zero effort and pairs with everything from roast turkey to glazed ham.
Pro Tips
- Boil sweet potatoes until very soft for the smoothest mash with no lumps
- The casserole will look loose going into the oven; trust the process, it sets up as it bakes
- Top with marshmallows or a pecan streusel in the last 15 minutes for extra flair
