POTATOE CASSEROLE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and grease a medium with cooking spray. Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly then transfer to a large bowl. Add butter to sweet potatoes and use a potato masher, or two forks, to mash. Add milk, brown sugar, eggs, nutmeg, salt and vanilla and stir until smooth. Transfer to prepared casserole dish. In a medium bowl, add all of the topping ingredients and mix until combined. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the sweet potatoes and bake until warmed through and golden on top, 25 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place potatoes directly on rack and bake until soft and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes, depending on size. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.  Slice warm potatoes in half and remove flesh with a spoon and place in a large bowl; discard skin.  Mash flesh and add butter, cream cheese, sour cream and milk and stir to combine and until butter and cream cheese is melted. Fold in 2 cups cheddar, three quarters of the bacon, three quarters of the chopped green onion, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Brush a medium baking dish with butter and transfer potato mixture into dish. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese is melty, about 20 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.  Top with remaining bacon and green onions.
