Scalloped Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

Scalloped Sweet Potato Casserole

From maureenlaw 14 years ago

I love sweet potatoes, but I'm not a fan of the casseroles with marshmellows. This sounded good to me, thought I'd share.

In a large saucepot, add unpeeled sweet potatoes and enough water to cover
Boil, then reduce heat to low
Cover and simmer until potatoes are just fork tender but not soft, about 20 minutes
Cool until easy to handle
Meanwhile, slice onions 1/4 inch thick
In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in hot vegetable oil, cook onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt until tender, stirring occasionally
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish
Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
In bottom of baking dish, arrange one-third of potatoes; sprinkle with half of the onions
Place half of the remaining potatoes over onions, then top with remaining onions
Arrange remaining potatoes on top
In a medium saucepot over medium heat, melt butter; stir in flour, ginger, pepper and 1 teaspoon salt until blended
Cook 1 minute Gradually stir in milk; cook stirring constantly, until sauce boils and thickens slightly
Pour sauce over potatoes; sprinkle with parsley
Bake 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and mixture is heated through.
If you like, broil 1 minute to brown the top of potatoes slightly

i think, perhaps, the sauce need some doctoring, but it sounds like a good basic recipe, especially for those diabetics on the site. Thanks for something a bit different.
