The Recipe’s Story
Picture the scene: the holidays are here, everyone has their special dish they make every year, and the kitchen is full of activity. The oven’s warm, and everyone’s chatting merrily as a robust medley of nostalgic aromas waft through the kitchen.
Turkey? Done. Mashed potatoes? Done. Green beans? Done. The last piece of your holiday dinner left is the sweet potato casserole. Or as we lovingly call it, “a vehicle for marshmallows.”
Give this holiday staple a bright Dole® twist this year with our Tropical Gold® Sweet Potato Casserole. Sunshine meets tradition in an easy, crowd-pleasing dish that brings a little extra glow to the table.
This classic gets a fresh look with Dole® Tropical Gold® Pineapple Slices in 100% Pineapple Juice* tucked into creamy sweet potatoes. Naturally sweet and golden, they balance the buttery richness of the sweet potato base with a touch of brightness.
Whether it’s part of your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, or just part of a cozy Sunday meal, this casserole turns a classic comfort food into something truly special.
The recipe is simple and familiar to follow. Start with boiled and peeled sweet potatoes for that silky-smooth base. Mash them along with plenty of butter and a scoop of sugar to keep things rich and sweet. Two eggs add a bit of fluffy lift, and vanilla gives it a familiar homemade coziness. A few dashes of nutmeg and salt round out the flavor. Spoon the mixture into a greased dish, then scatter the pineapple slices across the top. Finish it off with a layer of mini marshmallows to create that irresistible caramelized finish. Bake the casserole uncovered at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm, and watch it disappear faster than you can say “seconds.”
This casserole shines on any holiday table right beside a Baked Ham with Pineapple, a roasted turkey or a savory veggie medley. Whether you serve it as a dessert or as a side dish, everyone at your table will want another spoonful of this creamy, comforting and sunny addition.
