Sweet Potato and Onion Casserole

Homemakers Best Tested

Sweet potatoes and ham are an American tradition, but the sweet potato dish is often much too sweet. I find this simple layered casserole is a better accompaniment, especially when serving the ham with sweet-and-sour condiments. Bake it on the rack under the ham.

Ingredients

3-1/2 lbs  (1.75 kg)  sweet potatoes (about 4 or 5 large)
2 cups  (500 mL)  thinly sliced white onions
1-1/2 tsp  (7 mL)  chopped fresh sage (or ¾ tsp/4 mL dried)
1 tsp  (5 mL)  salt
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  pepper
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Peel and thinly slice sweet potatoes. In greased 8-inch (2 L) square baking dish, lay one-quarter of the potatoes; sprinkle one-third of the onions over top, then sprinkle with one-third of the sage and one-quarter each of the salt and pepper. Repeat twice. Top with final layer of potatoes; pour oil over top, shaking pan to distribute. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.

Cover with foil; bake in 325°F (160°C) oven for 1 hour. Uncover; bake in 375°F (190°C) oven until tender when tested with fork and lightly browned on top, about 40 minutes.
