Should this Potato Recipe be a Side Dish or a Dessert?
I don’t know if scalloped sweet potatoes should be considered a side dish or a dessert. It’s got the savory and natural sweetness flavor, thanks to the sweet potatoes, and plenty of extra sweetness, thanks to the toppings. Whether you serve it with your meal as a side or afterward as a dessert, you can’t go wrong.
Make This for More than Just Thanksgiving
Yes, these scalloped sweet potatoes are definitely a good dish to bring to Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. However, that doesn’t mean it’s the only time you can make it! If you are looking for a delicious potato recipe, or you need a new idea on what to make for dinner, this recipe is a great one! Too distracted by the sweet toasty marshmallows and crunchy almonds to even think twice about this being a sweet potato dish, kids will be happy to get a serving of vegetables and might even ask for more. The sweet potatoes are sliced thin and then coated in brown sugar and baked up with mini chocolate chips, roasted almonds, and toasty marshmallows. While it bakes, the brown sugar and chocolate melt together to make a delicious sauce that coats the potatoes. It is WAY better than your Grandma’s sweet potato casserole. Sorry, gram, it’s true!
