When FoodNetwork.com contacted me to share a favorite Thanksgiving Recipe I knew I had to choose something with sweet potatoes because I absolutely love them. I mean who doesn’t love sweet potatoes(if you do not then we cant be friends…kidding.)

What you need:
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), scrubbed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the preparing the pan
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pierce each one 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool.
Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. Scoop the sweet potato out of their skins and into a medium bowl. Discard the skins. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the eggs, butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and the pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture until smooth.

I’m not a big sweet potato friend.. can we still be friends?! I hope so! But really, this does look good even if they’re not my favorite! And I also basically love anything with pecans… so that may make up for it.
I am SO jealous that the Food Network contacted you.. mainly because that channel is ALWAYS on in this house. I basically taught myself to cook via that network. Anyway– loving this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I love sweet potatoes! And this sounds delicious!!
I really don’t have a great go-to sweet potato recipe so maybe I’ll try this one!
Haha, even though I don’t like sweet potatoes very much it STILL looks good. I guess that shows how much I just like food in general! lol!
