This is similar to a recipe I've been using for over 30 years that I found in an old cookbook from Colonial Williamsburg. The only difference is that I add orange zest and Grand Mariner. It's a tradition every Christmas and Thanksgiving. I double the recipe on Thanksgiving and freeze the rest for Christmas. One less thing to make so I can relax.
Sometimes they don't know what's good for them. Way to show your husband! ✊🏻 My boyfriend finds it "disturbing"; I just make it for myself as a treat. ❤
One thing that's always impressed me - and sends chills down my spine - are John's knife skills. He's always looking at the camera while he chops. Next level.
Being from the Caribbean this is not a signature dish for us but I’m so willing to try your recipe for the experience!!! Your ingredients are easily accessible to me and your method super easy. I’m looking forward !!
I made this for Thanksgiving. I followed the recipe exactly using the baked potato method. Fantastic and the star side dish. The texture was smooth and not runny or too thick. The topping was amazing. Thanks so much for making this recipe available.
Yum! Another easy and delicious recipe. Thanks John! I just love your charismatic personality as you explain each step, which inspires me to actual cook 👏🏽
Hi John, I found your channel about two months ago or so when I wanted a recipe for peanut butter oatmeal cookies. I made your recipe and they were quite delicious and easy to make. Ever since then I’ve looked through your channel and favored many recipes of years that I would love to try including this one, the peanut butter, chocolate chip cookies, and The pumpkin cookies. I can’t wait to try them all. As a blind person, it’s very important when I look for UA-cam recipes that they are verbal and descriptive and you do such a great job. Keep up the great work and I wish you and yours a very happy holiday season.
NGL, John, but your recipe from a year or two ago is far superior and easier. The roasting of the sweet potatoes vs. boiling makes a huge difference in flavor and texture.
@@MegaLivlivliv the roasting of the potatoes is just part of the difference. The whole dish is more straightforward and ingredient selection leads to an overall better dish.
@@actualreplyguy Eh, same ingredients plus marshmallow. The real difference -- other than roasting -- is incorporating some of the pecans and all of the cinnamon into the mixture instead of on top, and using 1/4 more sugar. IMO it's too sweet with the extra sugar and marshmallows and marshmallow. This version is sweetened, but not overly sweet while still allowing the sweet potato flavor to come through and enhance the dish with notes beyond the sweetness. Different strokes. Those with a sweet tooth would almost certainly prefer the previous version a bit more.
I agree @actualreplyguy! I lost my recipe card from that recipe and came here looking for it again and found this video. I was like.... NOPE! Not the one he did originally. I have not tried this recipe however I know for a fact my entire family LOVES the original recipe of his so I will go find it now! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!
I make a very similar recipe each holiday. I bake the sweet potatoes and use an electric mixer. This year I'm going to try it like you did, using a masher and mix by hand. Looks delicious.
Yessss🎉 I found recent videos...Days not years. John you're Awesome and your humor has made me smile during some really tough times. ❤ Continue to be blessed
I love your videos and recipes. I watched your deviled eggs video for friends giving and now preparing for family dinner tomorrow. You make it easy to follow along and breakdown steps/tips for beginners!
Made this for Thanksgiving with baked the sweet potatoes. I didn't add the white sugar to the potatoes so it wasnt quite as sweet. It was the hit of the dinner. I will make this everytime!!!!
Try roasting the sweet potatoes in the oven no peeling them is needed and the result is game changer they won’t get watery and the sweetness comes out like almost jam, I tried boiling them before that was ok but since I ‘been roasting them for years now never went back
Ok, I typically boil mine for my recipe that’s very similar to this. I may need to roast them! Do you oil them down at all? Do you wrap them individually? How long do you roast them?
@@bloggerbriii no oiling necessary and the baking time depends on the size of the sweet potatoes and also every oven is different I bake mine for ab 45 min less or more and always put more potatoes than the recipe because they will shrink a little
Perfect timing, thank you John! I was wondering what to make for a vegetarian pot luck get together and I will make this now. Looks delicious! Not sure you have this recipe in your first cookbook which I bought, will check later! John looking more handsome with the short haircut!
Happy Thanksgiving Preppy Kitchen! I made this today for our meal and it was a hit! Everyone said it was the best version of sweet potato casserole we’ve ever had! Thanks for this excellent recipe ☺️
Another alternative for cooking the sweet potatoes is microwaving - you won't get the same slightly-caramelized result as you would with baking them in the oven, but you won't have the concern of overboiling and having water-logged potatoes, either. Love your channel, John!!
My Mom this in the 70s. I grew up with it. My kids grew up with it. If I don’t bring it there will be trouble. We call it sweet potato pie. That’s what it was called when handed down to my Mom.
We have been doing this recipe (essentially) for almost 20 years. (Ruth Cris steakhouse copycat). I've never tried roasting the potatoes before but will for this Thanksgiving. We do add 1/4 - 1/2 chopped (depending on who's doing the mixing that year) roasted pecans in the sweet potato filling which our whole family loves! And we also do the crumble of course.
Thank you! I was searching for a baked pear recipe, but I didn’t see one by you. Could you do one in the future? Thank you and for the UK people, sweet potato casserole here in America is a side dish at Thanksgiving. Sweet and all. 😊
I make a pear and cranberry (or blackberry) crisp: delicious. Same method as apple or any fruit crisp. Sometimes I just bake them in a casserole dish with a little water or wine, cinnamon and usually a few raisins or cranberries. You could add nuts too.
I’m an overachiever. I make three different vanilla variations. 1. Using vanilla 2. Using bourbon 3. Using rum I make both a bourbon and a rum cake so I like the “special” vanilla for those. I also make a fourth with coffee and cacao beans. Lovely in brownies or coffee.
Well my mistake. Because we in Australia don’t eat pumpkin or sweet potato as a dessert, I made this and served it up with my piece of chicken! Lol. Yes, far too sweet. I realise now, this is a dessert! Probably warm smothered in double cream, will be really nice. Sorry John. Always love your recipes!
We’ve been eating sweet potato casserole this way for years my only suggestion and it’s just cause a big girl that loves her food. Anytime a recipe calls for crumb topping. ( any recipe) I always make a recipe and a half or double that part because it’s never enough. Y’all be looking for my cookbook where everything is as fattening as possible because we’re here for a good time not a long time. 🤣😍🐊🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
This is my favorite dish! I will heat a second serving in the microwave with marshmallows for dessert!! I always bake my sweet potatoes, less work! (I also put marshmallows on half of the casserole, since people tend to like one or the other!)

Colonial Williamsburg!!! Go neighbor 🥰
I live here in the burg!
I wish I still lived there! I'm a Midwest gal now lol
Sounds awesome. How much Grand Mariner? Thanks kindly.
@ I googled the recipe and it calls for 1 ounce of grand marnier for 3 pounds of sweet potatoes
Looks delicious! Also, your dedication to wearing flannel since the start of your channel brings a smile to my face, I love it! 😁
I started watching him about 3 years ago and I JUST realized that!! So cool😂😭
I definitely would love to see videos about how to properly chop/prep 😄 I can’t wait to make this casserole for my family!
I made this for Thanksgiving against my husbands wishes. It was great. Everyone loved it including the husband. Keep em coming.
Sometimes they don't know what's good for them. Way to show your husband! ✊🏻 My boyfriend finds it "disturbing"; I just make it for myself as a treat. ❤
Great video. I love the comments section where viewers offer their own suggestions for additives.
One thing that's always impressed me - and sends chills down my spine - are John's knife skills.
He's always looking at the camera while he chops. Next level.
So weird 😂
Thanks!
Ooh, we get a history lesson and sweet potato casserole recipe. Oh JOY ❤😊😊 thank you John
Thanks
Best recipe ever; four years in a row on our table for Thanksgiving Day.
Being from the Caribbean this is not a signature dish for us but I’m so willing to try your recipe for the experience!!! Your ingredients are easily accessible to me and your method super easy. I’m looking forward !!
You won’t regret it! It’s my favorite dish during the holidays! soooooo delicious!

My mom makes this with rum every year at Thanksgiving. It’s SO good!
@@happycommuter3523 How much rum please?
@@bdpnlady2
I use Jamaican white rum in my egg batter. 1 tablespoons is good.
For my topping I use toasted coconut and Praline Pecans chopped and chopped pretzels, the textures and flavors are just amazing.
I love sweet potato casserole the best my family eats it up
Thank you for a delicious recipe I'll be making this Holiday season and well beyond!!
Made this today!! Yum
Baked in the air fryer and there was a crunch to the crumble that was amazing !
I made this for Thanksgiving. It is sooo good ❤ My husband and I love this dish! So easy to make ❤
you make me smile-I'd love to see peel, peel, peel, chop, chop, chop! Looks delicious! Thank you.
NGL, John, but your recipe from a year or two ago is far superior and easier. The roasting of the sweet potatoes vs. boiling makes a huge difference in flavor and texture.
He actually has a note in the recipe that gives a suggestion for you to roast them whole before hand for more flavour.
@@MegaLivlivliv the roasting of the potatoes is just part of the difference. The whole dish is more straightforward and ingredient selection leads to an overall better dish.
Totally!

Beautiful, as is all of your recipes. I add brown sugar and cream cheese to my sweet potato casserole.
"much like the ring of power" love it 😍😁
All of your recipes are amazingly delicious! You're fun to watch and adorable 🤗 thanks for sharing your videos with us 😊 ❤❤
Try roasting the sweet potatoes in the oven no peeling them is needed and the result is game changer they won’t get watery and the sweetness comes out like almost jam, I tried boiling them before that was ok but since I ‘been roasting them for years now never went back
Also by roasting them u can reduce the sugar by half
u should have a channel
Ok, I typically boil mine for my recipe that’s very similar to this. I may need to roast them! Do you oil them down at all? Do you wrap them individually? How long do you roast them?
@@bloggerbriii no oiling necessary and the baking time depends on the size of the sweet potatoes and also every oven is different I bake mine for ab 45 min less or more and always put more potatoes than the recipe because they will shrink a little

My favorite part of thanksgiving is this dish! I love it with raisins mixed in but my family does not. We like it with marshmallows on top!
Love this. You’re the best! I could watch you all day 💕
Another delicious 😋😋😋 recipe, which I'm going to try!!!
So glad to see someone else top off the potatoes with candied pecans. I was beginning to think it was just me.
I make a mix of pecans, shredded coconut, butter and brown sugar on my Bourbon Sweet Potatoes!
Thank you for the recipe, I'll prepare it for Christmas dinner
Toasted pecans and brown butter are worth the extra effort. You can taste the mixture before adding eggs. I bake mine in individual ramekins.
looks great, I'll have to try it out. I hope you and your family have a lovely thanksgiving!
Delicious casserole. Made it the first time in my life and had already a pre thanksgiving dinner.
Wow! I want to try making this! Looks amazing 😊❤
I just made for our Thanksgiving dinner thank you very much great directions. Looking forward to eating it.
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! It will certainly be on the menu every Thanksgiving! Thank you!
Thank you. I made this for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a big hit
Looks so good! Thanks for sharing ❤
Love everything you do! It's classier tasting food made easy! I can't wait for the next book!
Perfect timing, thank you John! I was wondering what to make for a vegetarian pot luck get together and I will make this now. Looks delicious! Not sure you have this recipe in your first cookbook which I bought, will check later!
John looking more handsome with the short haircut!
A very simple request- a short or video on your favorite ways to enjoy your morning coffee!
I guess i should try this too.I am a sweet potato lover
How to make sweet potato fries 🍟
Happy Thanksgiving Preppy Kitchen! I made this today for our meal and it was a hit! Everyone said it was the best version of sweet potato casserole we’ve ever had! Thanks for this excellent recipe ☺️
One ring to bring them all... and in the darkness bind them.
A+ John for the LOTR reference!
Thanks so much for this video. Made this and brought it to a Friendsgiving and it was a hit! Subscribed.
I love a good LotR quote used in every day life.
My son in law makes this for Thanksgiving and I save my portion for dessert. 😉
Classic friend very greatfull bless to your family much appreciated 👏
MY FAVORITE CHEF BY FAR
I add cinnamon to mine, yummy😊
I will make this on Thanksgiving Day. Thank you John for sharing your recipe!
3:02 baking them first makes the potatoes much sweeter so you use less sugar
Just made this! Can’t wait to serve it. I most likely will not add a topping. Thx love your newly found channel.
Can we exchange ideas on cooking, because I also like food
"Such a simple and tasty recipe-sweet potatoes have never looked better! 👌"
I appreciate your apron. I always forget to put one on...subsequently I am always spraying spot remover on my laundry! 🥰
Thank you so much!! It turned out great ❤
Try orange zest in your sweet potatoes, and a splash of juice. And pecans and brown sugar is the superior sweet potato topping!
Another alternative for cooking the sweet potatoes is microwaving - you won't get the same slightly-caramelized result as you would with baking them in the oven, but you won't have the concern of overboiling and having water-logged potatoes, either. Love your channel, John!!
I microwave my potatoes when I make homemade potato salad. It cuts down on the prep work.
Mmmm, I make mine just the same. Delish! I actually make a cornbread with mashed sweet potato swirled through it….its in my permanent rotation.
Looks good 👍🏾 😋
I steam my sweet potatoes whole 🥔 they don't get waterlogged and the skins slip off easily. I love the pecan topping!
🎉🎉 yes That's Very good, it's Smells like Too Sweet Meal!!!!
I'm jealous of this dude's kitchen.
My Mom this in the 70s. I grew up with it. My kids grew up with it. If I don’t bring it there will be trouble. We call it sweet potato pie. That’s what it was called when handed down to my Mom.
Looks so yummy 🎉🎉🎉
This looks tasty!
I don’t really like sweet potatoes but now I think I should try this
Me too
Food is always attractive
@@xinjia-t1g you and I both know that is a lie
You mean you don't like sweet potatoes?
@@xinjia-t1g yes my first comment was, you then said food is attractive, which I took in a general setting. Not all food is attractive.
It looks good
Thank you
Love that stove!!
I bake them first, and add bourbon & black pepper. Sometimes rosemary as well, all of which contrast nicely with pecans or walnuts and sugar
Ty John! Sweet potatoes are my fav…..my husband doesn’t care for them so……more for me! Happy Thanksgiving!
Women can't resist delicious food. Are you the same?
Thank you for the video!
I know of this cookbook by Amelia Simmons, Townsends uses it a lot. I love, love, love sweet potatoes especially sweet potato casserole.
Great video John😊😊
Hi John definitely delicious blessings
Love your videos
I enjoy your cooking videos very much! would love to see pumpkin empanadas (empanadas de calabaza) pretty please.
We have been doing this recipe (essentially) for almost 20 years. (Ruth Cris steakhouse copycat). I've never tried roasting the potatoes before but will for this Thanksgiving. We do add 1/4 - 1/2 chopped (depending on who's doing the mixing that year) roasted pecans in the sweet potato filling which our whole family loves! And we also do the crumble of course.

Can you do a series for a healthy meal prep?😊
Delicious.

Likewise, I'm watching this video wondering is this a savoury dish or a pudding...I think the word casserole is confusing. (I'm from England)
Yeah, it's just wrong
This America. We’re fat. It’s sweet AF but just a regular staple of our holiday meals.
I'm American too. We never ate sweet potato casserole as a dessert. It was always a side dish with our Thanksgiving dinner.
Here in America we often do eat it as a side dish and that is why we are fat. 😂
Very good 👍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mmm look so delikatne😊😊
