Spicy Sweet Potato Casserole

Tired of the same old sweet potatoes? Ready to skip another sugary, marshmallow side at your holiday table? So am I. Found this while scanning magazines at a neighbors and quickly scribbled it down. The combination of dweet and savory additions look to enhance, not mask, the wonderful flavors of the under appreciated sweet potato. This will be gracing our holiday table next year and will likely make an appearance before then. Soon to be at a table at your house? Hope so.

I was lucky enough to find sweet onions (Maui's) when I last shopped. I enjoyed this as a welcome change from the usual holiday sweet potato dishes. Splenda Brown Sugar was used in place of the regular brown and I used double the cinnamon and ginger. It all came together with a lovely layering of flavor intensity, the sweet, the savory and and a tiny nip of heat.

    I was less than impressed with this as a side dish. I didn't enjoy the combination of flavours. However, I froze the leftovers and when I found a recipe for Risky Biscuits by Janet & Greta Podleski from Eat, Shrink & Be Merry, I used this in place of the mashed sweet potatoes and cinnamon. Made an awesome base for the biscuits.

    I myself find that these are sweet enough that we don`t need to add all that white stuff! I enjoyed these with all the spices called for and used 2 1/2 pounds of potatoes. When potatoes were tender I removed them and cooked down the liquid and then poured it over just before serving! Thanks!

    Thanks toni for another great recipe. We enjoyed this sweet potato dish very much. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, tender morsels nestled in sweet onions, flavourful spices and plump sweet raisins with a lovely hint of heat. The cayenne pepper makes them extra special.
