Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sweet potato puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (for topping)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into fry shapes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius) for the roasted potatoes.
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and return to roast for another 5 to 10 minutes until tender and edges are browned. Set aside.
  4. For the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 Celsius). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  5. In a bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, top evenly with marshmallows and pecans. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes until marshmallows are golden brown.
  8. For the sweet potato fries, increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 Celsius).
  9. Toss the cut sweet potato fries with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
  10. Spread the fries in a single layer on a separate baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes, flip the fries, and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until crispy.
  12. Serve the three sweet potato preparations immediately.

Notes

  • For the crispiest fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely.
  • You can substitute maple syrup for brown sugar in the casserole for a different flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a savory topping for the casserole, use a streusel topping made from flour, butter, and brown sugar instead of marshmallows and pecans.
