Recipe Introduction


Hasel King mashes sweet potatoes with pineapples, orange juice and seasonings. With a streusel-like topping of coconut and pecans, its sweet taste and pretty look will garner praise. TIP: To switch it up, follow Hasel's lead and substitute peanuts for the pecans.


List of Ingredients




1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 medium)
1/3 cup crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar


Recipe



Place sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool slightly.

Peel the potatoes and place in a large bowl; mash. Add the pineapple, butter, orange juice, egg, salt, mace and ginger; mix well.

Transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-30 minutes or until heated through.

Combine the coconut, pecans and brown sugar; sprinkle over the top. Bake 8-10 minutes longer or until topping is lightly browned.
