You can't really fuck up sweet potato casserole as long as you taste it as you go along. Bake them, peel them and put them in a mixing bowl. Add butter, a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of salt and pepper and a spoonful of maple syrup or brown sugar. A dash of vanilla extract and a splash of bourbon or apple cider or evaporated milk or all three. Add a couple of beaten eggs and pour into a buttered casserole dish. Bake for ³⁰⁄₄₀ minutes and then top with pecan streusel shit or pineapple or marshmallows or whatever and bake for a few more minutes.

Why do you and the recipe I read say to bake them or boil them AND Then peel them? Doesn't it make sense to peel them first??

It’s easier to peel them once they’re cooked.
