Loaded Sweet Potato Casserole | Food Wishes

[@spliffin5300]

One of the things I love about you is how deeply and thoroughly you love food, and not just the taste, but everything about the whole process. Very few others would have taken the time to admire and point out the beautiful color of the potatoes.

[@liamreddan5592]

Nice observation, it also made me happy!! :)

[@mattmeagher365]

Amen!

[@ajchapeliere]

I came across a recipe for masoor dal where the chef mentioned loving the color of the dish. We've made it with both white and orange yams and the orange really do give it a more intense color. Makes the dish feel a bit more cozy, which is good for a stew. It's nice to find people who take the time to appreciate that kind of thing

[@JoseFerreira-r3w]

What a great observation. I think you’ve helped me understand why I dig this guy so much!

This was indeed the best sweet potato casserole ever in the universe. My friends were so impressed that they want the recipe, which I will share. One friend said that doesn't like sweet potatoes at all, but couldn't help trying this dish because of all the raptures from other attendees at our get-together. She loved them. The pound of bacon I'm sure was the biggest draw but the whole thing was amazing. Thanks so much for this genius recipe.

[@sammonicuslux]

OMG Chef John has a scratched teflon pan! He IS one of us.

[@NeighborofKT]

I never liked sweet potatoes until,I used them in savory dishes. Sour cream on a baked sweet potato is the best!

[@beeks919]

I routinely type "LOL" but honestly, it's a lie. I extremely rarely laugh out loud. However - "When your bacon looks foamy, it's almost done, homie" got me good. LOL FOR REALS

“When your bacon looks foamy, it’s almost done homie”. That’s scientific evidence I can trust!

Too many people focus on the sweet side of sweet potatoes. I love that you’re showing a recipe showing their use in a savory dish.

[@uhohcosmo]

8 years ago, first recipe I viewed (and cooked) was the beef jerky! Still going strong I see, this casserole is sensational!

[@suedraws4998]

I would eat this as a main with a side salad. Might make next week when I meal prep

[@luau5974]

You are making my Thanksgiving dinner list. Keep ‘em coming! Update 11/12 I made this tonight (I'm on 2nd meat detail for Tgvng). It is delicious! Even my mother, who has a perma sweet tooth loved it. I sent my aunt this video, she's putting it on her dinner menu for Thanksgiving. I've made about a dozen of Chef John's recipes, they ALL have been hits!

[@crosselli]

Chef John, I made this today for Thanksgiving. The only change I made was I cooked the bacon in the oven with brown sugar sprinkled on. It was incredible.

[@GaryMeres]

Thanks for helping me eat good! You are my cooking guy! You are the best!

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

I agree Chef John, I've never heard anyone say "That's too much bacon" 🥓🤣😂 I made this casserole last night and we loved it, It's definitely one I'll go back to time and time again, such a hearty meal. Perfect for fall/winter. The cheddar and bacon topping is so delicious ☺🧀🥓🧡

[@bonniepwtf]

Definitely going to try this one. Thanks.

[@MichaelNYCBroker]

Your Caddyshack reference did not go unnoticed. Kudos to you!

[@jennicabouray4419]

I’ve always made mashed sweet potatoes with smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, jalapeño ranch, and cheddar cheese. I’m going to try this (but with my usual additions) for the ultimate sweet potatoes. (Both my husband and father-in-law hate sweetened sweet potatoes, so this will be a huge hit!)

[@DONJULIANOrtiz]

Looks great chef! I will “give this a try soon”

You are my favorite teacher Chef John! I've learned so much from you over the years. Thank you!

[@StormyLynn724]

Omg. I found your channel by accident and I think I’m in love. 😂 And this dish is so perfect looking, I’m gonna try to make it to go with Christmas dinner I’m making for my family. Ps. My mother recently passed….so I’m making dinner for my brothers this year and was looking for interesting dishes to make that weren’t too complicated….AND hopefully find a chef to show me how to make it without boring me to death or adding ingredients I’ve either never used or can’t buy. 😂 So thx! I love your channel! I’m hooked and now I’m watching all your vids! Thanks from Delaware! (Wish me luck! 😫)

[@hbinjapan]

Hi Chef, It’s taken me almost 10 years to write, Chef. (Watching on the telly is not conducive to making KZbin comments). First video I saw was yonks ago about a no-knead bread. Second was a pizza. I followed advice I already knew and didn’t burn the roof of my mouth! I thought you were a rather annoying American man at the time. But times change, as do herbs with an ‘H’ in the garden with time, or thyme, and I can now in a succinct way say, I think you’re brilliant and I enjoy your weekly posts. I rarely follow exact instructions as, as you know, cooking is a lot about improvisation, unless it’s choux pastry. You’re obviously aware of the discrepancies in the language of America and the language of England, though you have made some good points over the years! Points from this end: Erbs is pronounced Herbs because there’s an ‘H” at the beginning, like Hoover (Dam or nasty man). Origano is too close to origami (I live in Japan). It’s Ori-ga-no. There is no “oooo” in aluminium. Tomato tomato potato potato! No comment apart from never try to order a tomato juice on United Airlines with an English accent. After 3 attempts I had to say Toe-may-toe juice, with some spice. Nit wits. As for potatoes, just call them spuds. Very English but very recognizable with an “s’ in recognizable. The Haggis is actually a bird with one leg shorter than the other. They run around hillsides going nowhere up or down. I’ve made an attempt at Haggis in Japan. Not bad at all if you can ge hold of some “lights”.You should try too. It’s offal, oats, and spices at the end of the day and very tasty with your American sausage. French Fries. Are they still stupidly called Freedom Fries in some parts there? Chips. As in Fish and chips. Nobody says fish and fries, or do they? And therein lies another confusion! Chips are spuds cut into lengths and then deep-fried. Crisps come in a packet from shops; Crisps are chips in the land of the free, with some very bizarre "flavours". Anyway, apologies for taking so long to actually write and say I love your ideas. Cheers

[@cooknamnab2160]

thanks Chef John, it looks great.

[@susanelainesanner]

Take those same four sweet potatoes, tender, and add baked beans seasonings, but no beans: bacon, maple sugar or brown sugar, hot espresso, about half a cup of pure butter, lots of onion, a little apple cider vinegar (to make up for the absence of tomato catsup), brown mustard, modest addition of the pure version of liquid smoke, Tabasco sauce, freshly ground black pepper, a bit of caraway seeds. Chef John, your version of loaded sweet potatoes has inspired my version of cherished sweet potatoes. Love to try both versions.

[@Cookathome.Christina]

Everything you make looks so delicious. 🙂

[@coolcanoechic]

Since I really dislike sweet potatoes, I would totally do this with regular potatoes. ❤
