L. Bean Book of New New England Cookery by Judith and Evan Jones (Random) Sweet potatoes are seasoned with nutmeg and orange peel then layered with ham and mustard. Baked and topped with sesame seeds, this dish is sure to please family or guests. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:Peel the sweet potatoes and either slice them very thin or grate them. Spread half the sweet potatoes over the bottom of a shallow 1-1/2-quart casserole, sprinkle half of the grated orange rind over, and season with some pepper and nutmeg. (If you are using country ham, you probably won't need salt; otherwise season lightly with salt). Arrange overlapping pieces of ham over the sweet potatoes, spread mustard on top, then finish with the remaining sweet potatoes and a little more of the pepper and nutmeg. Pour the milk over all. Cover lightly with foil and bake in a 375-degree F. oven 40 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, and bake another 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
