Instead of the 'traditional' sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving, this is what our Southern family has had on the table for at least 3 generations. Great Aunt Margie (pronounced MAH-gee) was born in 1902. Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 egg, beaten |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 pinch ground nutmeg |
2 cups grated raw sweet potatoes |
1 orange, zested |
1/2 orange, juiced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Mix sugar, butter, egg, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Stir in sweet potatoes, orange zest, and orange juice until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture into a shallow 9x13-inch baking dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and bubbling, 1 hour. Serve hot or cold.
