Wonderful side dish! Sweet Potato Gratin3 lbs sweet potatos, (about 5 large)1/2 butter or margarine, divided 1/4 cup plus 2 tbls brown sugar, divided 2 eggs 2/3 cup orange juice 2 tsp cinnamon, divided 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/3 cup flour 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned oats 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Bake sweet potatos until tender, about 1 hour. Cut hot sweet potatos lengthwise and remove pulp into a large bowl. Beat 1/4 cup butter or margarine and 2 tbls brown sugar into potatos until butter or margarine is melted. Add eggs, orange juice, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Beat until smooth. Pour into 1 1/2 quart baking dish, smooth top. For the topping, combine oats, flour, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cinnamon into med bowl. Cut in remaining 1/4 cup butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle over sweet potatos. Bake about 1/2 hour or until heated through. If desired, you can broil for a few minutes to get a nice crunchy topping. Now you can assemble this recipe and refridgerate, covered, over night. Allow to stand for an hour or so at room temp before baking. Just hope I don't get in trouble!!
