Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
My Mom makes these as well...she got the recipes years ago from her friend, from whom it came from that lady's Grandmother.... something along those lines....
She cuts the sugars in about half though.... still mighty sweet :)

Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!
I "brown" them in a little butter and onion, then cover with water and make stock for the gravy. When it reduces to my liking, I pull out the "stuff". I scrap off any neck meat and dice up the giblets and put them back into the pot.
Sometimes I make a roux to thicken, sometimes I kneed butter and flour to thicken...then season with pepper and a touch of kosher sea salt. Mmmmmmmm.
AND we never ever tell the kids what is in the gravy. Ever. At least, not until they are grown up and want to make that awesome gravy that Mama makes ;)

To paraphrase Popeye, "I yam what I yam!" This sounds like a great dessert.

Yes, I second the query - could this be made a day ahead? It would sure make life easier for me. And I intend to serve it as dessert, since I'm not overfond of very sweet things with the main course. A pie crust . . . bourbon . . . ginger snaps . . . so much to consider!
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
can this be made the day before thanksgiving and still be just as yummy? thanks :-)
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
I love these...my mother made this exact recipe when I was growing up, and now I do it every year for Thanksgiving...I just melt the butter for the topping though...so yummy!!!
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
i'm making this recipe right now... have to say i must have done something wrong because it is taking waaaaay longer for the potatoes to be tender. i've upped the oven to 400 and wrapped the baking dishes they're roasting in with foil. maybe i was supposed to do that anyway! the kitchen sure smells good and i can't wait for the finished product.

Mmmmmm... I'm sitting here right now with a plate full of food, and these sweet potatoes are a wonderful addition to tonight's dinner! I don't usually care for them, but this recipe is absolutely delicious. Thanks for taking the time to add the photos and all. They were really helpful.

Making mine in a pie crust. Will send an update once it's eaten!

this sounds so good! but i'm addicted to my eggnog sweet potatos. my family adores them. i roast potatoes, mix in a cup of eggnog, a swig of bourbon and some allspice. they are SO good! i may try making some with these yummy nutty topping this year! thanks ree!

I make this recipe every year and my family would hurt me if I didn't. It was originally published in Jill Conner Browne's "God Save the Sweet Potato Queens" on page 217. She says that she sometimes adds coconut to the topping as well.

This recipe was passed along to my mother from a family friend (Margaret) and has become a regular part of the Thanksgiving repertoire at our house. The one thing that is ever so slightly different is that Margaret's recipe uses self-rising flour. It makes the topping puff just ever so slightly, which makes the texture of the topping just slightly crispy, and more consistent throughout, but also makes that crispy topping melt in your mouth the second it hits your tongue.
And yes, in the South, this is very much a "side dish"! Just because it has (a LOT) of sugar does not mean that it has to be a dessert and can't appear on a plate along side the turkey.

I make a very similar dish named after a lady from Alabama, Betty Haney.
In her/our version you boil and mash the sweet potatoes. In the best ones I've made the topping melted to a praline consistency. Her final touch was to put pecan halves all the way around the edge of the caserole which are added in the last twenty minutes or so. Thank you Betty!
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
oooh I used to make a dish very similar to these but have lost it in all the moves I have made over the years.....Thanks Pioneer Woman!!!...the only thing I see different is I used cinnamon in the potato part...This looks soooo down home southernly good. Great with the turkey, stuffing and veggies.....it adds sweetness to the plate...I am sooo overly excited to have this recipe...I can't wait to make it...(even tho it will be Tues not Thurs...ppl are sick 365..so nurses have to work). This will make enough to take to work to share!!! I tried the sinnfully mashed potatos already...OMG!!! they are to die for. Thank goodness they work off all those calories working hard on that ranch. I would rather put in a few..ok..a lot of extra exercise instead of depriving myself of the good stuff!!
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
Hey Pioneer ......think i could sub crushed gingersnaps for the pecans >
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
I make this every year on Thanksgiving just for the big hug my nephew gives me for it. His mom, my sister is one of those no sugar, no fat people so he suffers all year. I promise people will lick you for making these.
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
I'm totally making these for BirdDay. I've done a couple fo Pioneer Woman's recipes and they've worked out wonderfully. This though - this is gorgeously obscene. Thank you PWC!

JT--gingersnaps!
I make a good impromptu dessert using crushed g'snaps mixed with cinnamon and melted butter sprinkled over a dish of canned Barltlett pears. Bake and serve with vanilla ice cream. So unbelievably good! Glad to hear your rendition of cubed, "rubbed" sweet potatoes. Gonna try them out tonight!

I put them in a freezer bag with the bones to save for stockmaking later.
Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes
Only thing that would make this any better is a splash (or four) of bourbon!! Thanks for the recipe!

They either get tossed in the freezer for later stock making or tossed into existing stock for gravy.
The liver gets fried up as a snack.

Stock for the gravy, of course, but the liver is for me!
