Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
Executive Chef Daniel Angerer of Dig Inn Seasonal Market beat Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America's Battle Beer. Enough said. We'll cook anything he tells us to, unless his sweet potato casserole recipe involves mini-marshmallows. Oh, it doesn't? Fantastic.
Ditch the overly-sugary maple-tainted orange glop destined for a Tupperware in favor of this rosemary-scented and lightly — lightly — spice-enhanced mash this holiday season. Bonus: it makes an awesome spread for your Thanksgiving sandwich.
