Praline Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sweet potatoes, sugar, butter, milk and vanilla. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, pecans and flour; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, 50-60 minutes or until top is browned.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mash potatoes in large bowl. Add dressing, 1/4 cup sugar, ginger and zest; mix well.
• Spoon into 1-1/2-qt. casserole. Combine nuts, remaining sugar, butter and cinnamon; sprinkle over potato mixture.
• Bake 30 min. or until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Roll out the dough into a circle, about 12 to 13 inches in diameter. Gently press it into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges with your forefinger and thumb. Prick the bottom of the pie crust all over with the tines of a fork to keep it from puffing up in the oven. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 45 minutes.
• Put the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until very tender, about 45 minutes. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F and remove potatoes from oven; allow to cool slightly before scooping the flesh into a food processor. Puree until smooth, then add the eggs, cream, brown sugar, sugar syrup and vanilla extract. Pulse a couple of times to combine, then add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• Put the pie pan on a rimmed baking sheet and pour in the filling. Bake until the center is set, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely, then transfer the pie to the refrigerator.
• To make the praline topping, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and add the sugar, syrup, pecans and salt. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the stovetop and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Remove the pie from the refrigerator and pour the praline topping over the cooled pie, spreading evenly with a spatula or by gently rolling the pie around at an angle so it hits the edges. Cool until topping has hardened, about 20 minutes. Serve.
• Combine the flour, ground pecans, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub the butter pieces between your fingertips and thumbs, or use a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the ice water and work it in until the dough holds together, being careful not to overmix. Squeeze a small amount together; if it is too crumbly, add some more ice water, a little at a time. Shape it into a smooth ball, flatten into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to 2 days.
