Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake the sweet potato mixture in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake the sweet potato mixture until edges are slightly browned, about 40 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes, cover, and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart soufflé dish. Sprinkle the dish with 1 tablespoon white sugar, shaking the dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides.
