Sweet Potato Pudding with Grated Potatoes
A baked sweet potato pudding is a rich and flavorful Southern classic side dish. Made with grated sweet potatoes that form a crisp topping over a creamy custard. Only slightly sweet, it's a great side dish for a holiday meal but simple enough to serve for a family dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Sweet Potatoes (shredded (1-2 potatoes))
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish or oval baking dish.
- Peel and grate the sweet potatoes with a box grater or a food processor.
- In a large bowl add the eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar and salt and mix with a hand mixer until combined. Add slightly cooled melted butter and then add the grated sweet potatoes.
- Bake uncovered for 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set and not jiggly.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Don't grate the potatoes in advance or they will start to turn brown.
- This is best prepared right before being baked.
- Sweet potato pudding is great warm but also at room temperature.
