Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Casserole
- Use freshly cooked sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overmix the sweet potato base — you want it creamy but still a little fluffy.
- Toast pecans beforehand for added crunch and nuttiness.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the granulated sugar slightly.
- If using marshmallows, add them in the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
