I first tried this at our 2023 Thanksgiving meal and it was an instant hit. Some recipes call for roasting the potatoes first but I find that boiling them does not interfere with their flavor and it’s a whole lot easier for me. The corn flakes cereal topping comes out both crunchy and gooey and is a perfect new twist on what seems like an ancient favorite.Ingredients:3 pounds (more or less, about 3 large spuds) sweet potatoesFor emulsifying the potatoes in a blender:2 large eggs¼ cup half and half¼ cup (50 grams) packed brown sugar¼ cup melted butter1 teaspoon non-iodized salt (some recipes call for Diamond Crystal salt, which weighs much less per teaspoon)For the corn flakes topping:2 cups corn flakes cereal1 teaspoon cinnamon¼ cup (50 grams) packed brown sugar½ teaspoon non-iodized salt¼ cup melted butterOther topping:5 ounces mini marshmallowsMethod:Peel and cube the potatoes in uniform 1 inch chunks and boil in water until well softened.Whisk the egg mixture in a medium sized bowl and set aside.Working in two batches or more, add up to half the potatoes and half or so of the egg mixture to a blender and pulse to purée. It will take some experimenting to see how your blender fares here. You may have to add a little water/butter to get the job done, depending on the moisture content of the potatoes. You could have boiled the potatoes a couple of days ahead of time which may affect their moisture content.Pour all the resulting purée into a 13” x 9” baking dish ( I use my Pyrex). Take all of the corn flakes topping ingredients and shake them in a plastic food storage bag until well coated.Arrange the coated corn flakes and mini marshmallows in alternate diagonal stripes of 1” width on top of the purée.Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven until the marshmallows brown a bit.Adapted from Bon Appetit magazine, 2023.
