A good sweet potato casserole will go with just about anything except fish but the two main meats that we serve it with is turkey and pork; pork being my favorite.
I love a baked center cut pork loin with the bone left in; I have my butcher cut it with a nice top layer of fat. Dry bake it in the oven to an internal temperature of 150°F. Remove it from the oven and allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing. It will coast up to around 155° and the fat layer on top will be very brown and crisp and the meat will be tender and juicy.
Serve it with a nice salad and some crusty rolls.
End the meal with brandied strawberries toped with crème fraiche.
