Not So Sweet Sweet Potato Casserole

This recipe is very different from the typical sweet potato casseroles topped with marshmallows you might often see on the thanksgiving table. first of all, no marshmallows or brown sugar anywhere in sight. in fact, the only sugar in this recipe comes naturally from the potatoes themselves and the juice. Topped with cheese and baked til warm and yummy :) a nice change of pace.

Steps

Preheat oven to 375f.
Bake potatoes whole , in their skins on a foil lined jelly roll pan until they are soft when pierced with a fork.
Remove from oven and let cool until you can handle them , then peel off the skins.
Mash the potatoes along with butter , cider , salt and pepper , until smooth enough to your liking.
Grease an oval baking dish and spoon the mashed potatoes into the dish.
Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and bake at 375f for about 30 minutes , uncovered , or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Sprinkle parsley over the top and serve.
Make ahead.
When ready to serve them , thaw completely , place into the baking dish as described above , top with cheese , and bake at 350f for about 40 minutes , then sprinkle with parsley before serving.
