;){kind=small} | Simple baked sweet potatoes are a classic Southern dish and especially good with fresh ham or pork chops. Here’s a sweet potato casserole that I’ve made several times that omits all of the sweet stuff and still get raves: |
|
|
||||
|
|
• | 1 Tbl. olive oil 4 bay leaves, cut in half 3 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 “ slices 1 14.5 oz. can chicken broth 1/4 C. flour 1/4 tsp. nutmeg |
|
|
||||
|
|
• | Preheat oven to 350. Coat 13X9X2“ glass baking dish with oil. |
|
|
||||
|
|
• | Arrange bay leaves in dish. Spread 1/3 of potato slices on top of bay leaves. Season with s&p. Repeat layering and seasoning with remaining potatoes. Whish broth, flour and nutmeg together and pour over potatoes. Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake until almost tender, about 1 hr. Uncover, raise temp to 400 and bake about 20 minutes more until most of liquid has evaporated. Serves 8. |
