Dolly Parton continually loved whipping up feasts of Southern comfort food for her loved ones, including her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.
The delayed nation icon loved it so much that she equal wrote a cookbook alongside her sister, Rachel Parton George, which came out in 2024.
My favorite division of "Good Lookin' Cookin': A Year of Meals" is dedicated entirely to Thanksgiving dishes. And the finest formula of the bunch is Parton's saccharine murphy casserole.
Here's how to create it.
Dolly Parton's saccharine murphy casserole has a nutty twist.
To create the saccharine murphy casserole at home, you'll need:
- 5 ample saccharine potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 cups of miniature marshmallows
- ½ cup of cut raw pecans
- ½ cup of ray brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (1 stick) of margarine at area temperature, affirmative additional for greasing
- 1 spoon of vanilla extract
- 1 spoon of salt
- 1 spoon of dirt cinnamon
First, I preheated the oven and prepped my potatoes and baking pan.
I set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and buttered a 9-inch-by-13-inch pan.
I additionally washed, peeled, and quartered my saccharine potatoes.
I placed my saccharine potatoes in a ample pot and covered them alongside chilly water.
I brought the pot to a abscess complete elevated heat, afterward lowered the warmth to keep a low abscess for 20 minutes during the potatoes cooked.
You'll cognize they're prepared whenever the potatoes are fork-tender.
I drained the potatoes, placed them in a ample bowl, and added the margarine and seasonings.
I threw in the brown sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and butter, adding the second in knobs so it'd be uncomplicated to mix.
Then it was period to mash.
The formula recommends using a murphy masher to mix the ingredients until they're "well combined." I don't own one, so I merely used a big wooden serving fork — it worked akin a charm!
I transferred my mashed saccharine potatoes to the baking pan, smoothing the top.
I scattered the pecans on top, afterward evenly covered the casserole alongside my miniature marshmallows.
I covered my pan alongside aluminum foil and threw it in the oven.
The formula says you should roast your saccharine murphy casserole for 20 minutes.
Once the 20 minutes were up, I baked the casserole uncovered for five additional minutes.
The marshmallows should rotate aureate brown, but quarry were motionless pale as snow following five minutes passed. So I turned on the broiler and baked the casserole for two additional minutes to provision them several color.
I let my saccharine murphy casserole chill for 15 minutes before serving.
I was slightly disappointed whenever the saccharine murphy casserole came out of the oven. The marshmallows got a small overcooked by the broiler and now lone covered fractional of the casserole. Next time, I think I'll fair let the marshmallows chef uncovered the complete time.
Unphotogenic marshmallows aside, this saccharine murphy casserole was delicious. The crunchy pecans added a delightful twist, and the blend of brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon was fine balanced. The texture was satisfyingly creamy, and the dish made my galley odor delicious.
I brought this to a Friendsgiving, and the pan was bare inside minutes — notwithstanding having a lot of competition!
I'll certainly be missing Dolly during this holiday season. Serving up a casserole that's heated and saccharine seems akin a fitting tribute.
