I haven't made this yet, but wanted to post it for others who are looking for a nice side dish for the holidays. Prep time includes the time needed to bake the potatoes. Ingredients:
10 large sweet potatoes (approx. 5 lbs) |
3/4 cup butter |
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed) |
1/4 cup honey |
1/4 cup orange marmalade |
2 tablespoons candied ginger (minced) |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 cup dark rum (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Bake potatoes on a cookie sheet until soft (approx. 1.5 hrs).
3. When cool enough to handle, peel and chunk potatoes into a large bowl.
4. Add butter and other ingredients and toss to mix.
5. Mash potatoes thoroughly or puree in a blender. A hand mixer works well also.
6. Lower oven temperature to 350F.
7. Turn mashed potatoes into a casserole dish and dot the top with a bit of additional butter.
8. Bake 30-40 minutes until hot.
9. NOTE: This can be made ahead of time. Bring the mashed potato mixture to room temperature before dotting with butter and baking until hot.
