About Sweet Potato Casserole
Golden Corral Sweet Potato Casserole costs from $3.99 and carries 520 calories. Mashed sweet potato baked under a sweet topping, the dish that sits between side and dessert and gets taken as both.
It appears year round at most locations and takes over the line entirely around Thanksgiving, when Golden Corral runs its busiest day of the year. Rich enough that a small scoop does the job, it pairs with carved ham the way tradition demands. The recipe below uses a brown sugar pecan topping rather than marshmallow.

How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole at Home?
Roasting the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them concentrates the sugar and keeps the filling from turning watery.

Tips
- Roast, do not boil. Boiled sweet potatoes carry water that thins the filling.
- Cold butter in the topping is what makes it crumble rather than melt flat.
- Assemble a day ahead and bake fresh; it holds well refrigerated.
Variations
- Marshmallow topping instead of pecan, broiled 2 minutes at the end.
- Add a splash of bourbon to the filling.
- Add orange zest for brightness against the sugar.
Serving Ideas
- Serve with carved ham or turkey at a holiday table.
- Serve small scoops as a dessert alternative.
- Reheat leftovers covered at 325 F so the topping does not burn.
