Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2.
Prick the
Sweet Potatoes (4 lb)
several times with the tines of a fork, and bake for 1 hour, or until tender when tested with a knife. Set aside.
3.
Meanwhile, heat
Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp)
in a medium sauté pan. Cook the butter over medium-low heat for three minutes, watching carefully, until brown flecks begin to form.
4.
Immediately remove the pan from the heat and add the
Shallots (2 cups)
and
Brown Sugar (1 Tbsp)
. Cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are tender and lightly browned. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the
Walnuts (1 1/2 cups)

Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/4 tsp)
,
Brown Sugar (2 Tbsp)
, the remaining
Unsalted Butter (1/3 cup)
, and
Kosher Salt (to taste)
(1 tsp).
6.
Using your fingers, pinch the mixture together to form large crumbles. Set aside.
7.
Peel the potatoes and place the flesh in a large mixing bowl, discarding the skin. With a hand mixer on low speed or a potato masher, beat the potato mixture until smooth.
8.
Fold in the shallot mixture, the remaining
Brown Sugar (1 Tbsp)
,
Whole Milk (1/2 cup)
