Here's an easy side dish to serve for Thanksgiving or with other roasted meats. Baked Whipped Sweet Potatoes.
A sweet potato dish is a Thanksgiving tradition at my house. I have kept two binders filled with recipes that I've cooked over the years for Thanksgiving. I was going through my recipe binders a few weeks ago and came across this recipe. I had emailed it to a friend who enjoyed the dish at Thanksgiving dinner. I laughed when I looked at the email address I used. It was my aol.com email address. That's old. Crazy how time flies.
I've taken this recipe and updated it a bit. It's not a low calorie dish, but it's all right to splurge a little during the holidays.
WHAT TO GATHER
- 3 pound medium-sized sweet potatoes or yams, cubed
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
