About The Sweet Potatoes

The sweet potato casserole earns its place at the center of the Thanksgiving table without apology, bubbling at the edges, burnished with butter and brown sugar, and crowned with marshmallows that go just a shade past golden. A drizzle of maple syrup, a handful of toasted pecans, a whisper of cinnamon and nutmeg: it is part vegetable, part dessert, entirely irresistible. Whether it comes from a grandmother's index card or a dog-eared cookbook, the dish arrives the same way every year, too hot to touch and gone before anything else.
