How to make this pretty sweet potato casserole recipe
Even though this casserole looks impressive, it’s quite simple to make. The one tool that will really help you here is a mandolin. It makes quick work of slicing the sweet potatoes and ensures that each slice is uniform. This is the mandolin that we have. While there are better quality ones available, this one is inexpensive and does the trick. We leave the skin on the sweet potatoes. It’s less work that way. If your sweet potatoes are looking a little rough or you know you don’t like the skin, you can always peel it. Done! If needed, you can arrange the casserole and make the pecans ahead of time.
