Made Thanksgiving 2025. A good recipe, but double wrapping my breakaway pan with 2 layers foil didn't keep the water bath out. Or maybe Sam let some in when removing from oven (got a late start, cake wasn't ready to come out til midnight with Mom's oven temp being too low and how late I began)
Made Thanksgiving 2025. 5 stars. Added some extra cheese on top. Puff pastry took about 45 minutes to defrost at room temp; take out before starting onions and timing works out nicely. Can put hot onions in freezer for 5-10 mins to cool quickly
Need about 4 lbs sweet potato (5-6 medium potatoes) to get 4 cups mashed. Google/AI says 2 pounds for 4 cups but it's not enough. Best potato preparation is to bake the whole potato (wash/scrub and puncture with fork first) on foil at 400 degrees for 50ish minutes for medium sized potatoes. Good to do prep/mash early on Thansgiving day to conserve oven time for hot items later
