FAQ's about sweet potato casseroles
How far in advance can I make the casserole? You can make it up to a day in advance or further if you plan to freeze it first.
Can I use canned sweet potatoes? I would say no as they may contain other ingredients not included in this recipe.
Do I need to peel the sweet potatoes? Yes or you might end up with a more fibrous texture throughout the casserole. I like to keep the peel on my potatoes if are going to be mashed but this recipe should have a creamy texture.
Do I need to refrigerate my sweet potato casserole? If you are leaving it out more than two hours I recommend storing in the fridge and warm in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes.
