How to Make

  • Step 1: Wash the sweet potatoes and prick the skin - bake the sweet potatoes in a preheated 375F oven for 1 hour or until very soft. Let cool.

  • Step 2: Remove the skin from the sweet potatoes, then slice the potatoes thickly-set aside.

  • Step 3: Preheat an oven to 350F.

  • Step 4: Heat the oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onions over medium heat until they are translucent. Add the carrots and continue to sauté until onions and carrots are golden.

  • Step 5: In a mixing bowl, combine the onion-carrot mixture with all the remaining ingredients except walnuts. Mix thoroughly; don’t worry if the potato slices break apart.

  • Step 6: Transfer the mixture to a large, oiled, 12" x 9" ( or similar) baking dish Sprinkle the walnuts over the top. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top begins to turn slightly crusty.
