Servings: persons

3 medium-large red-fleshed sweet potatoes
1/3 cup unsalted butter
4 large shallots, sliced into thin rounds
6 ounces fresh goat cheese
3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour or white whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup boiling water
3 large eggs
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F, position a rack in the middle of the oven, and butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
2
Prick each sweet potato with a fork a few times, then wrap in aluminum foil. Prick the foiled potatoes, this time to allow steam to escape. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2, hours, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Cool until they can be handled, then use a big, wide spoon to scoop the flesh into a bowl. Increase the oven temperature to 425u00b0F.
3
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then stir in the shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are golden and the butter has browned, about 9 minutes.
4
Put two-thirds of the sweet potato mixture in the prepared casserole dish and top with dollops of the whipped goat cheese. Finish with dollops of the remaining sweet potato mixture. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until goat cheese begins to color and the potatoes have set. Serve topped with a dustting of Parmesan.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
