Curried Sweet Potatoes

introduction

This is a knock-out Thanksgiving side dish that no one will forget!

ingredients

• 5 pounds sweet potatoes
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  1/3 cup whipped butter
  1/4 cup hydrogenated fat
  1/4 cup margarine
  3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake potatoes on a baking sheet until very soft, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, peel and mash.

In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk with curry paste over low heat. Mix coconut milk mixture, half the sugar, half the butter, and salt into potatoes. Keep warm until ready to serve, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.

At least 30 minutes before serving, heat oven to 425 degrees. Put potatoes in a baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover potatoes, dot with remaining butter and sugar and broil until brown and crusty on top, checking often to prevent scorching.
