Keywords: For creamier mashed sweet potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a masher. Feel free to experiment with toppings like mini marshmallows or crushed graham crackers for added texture. You can prepare the casserole ahead of time by assembling it without baking; simply refrigerate overnight.
