Potato Pudding - has anyone tried this before?

Scarlett25

I found this recipe for Potato Pudding in a charity cookbook from a few years ago. It's a recipe donated by the actor Paul Scofield and I wondered if anyone's tried it or had something similar before.....and if so, was it any good?!

POTATO PUDDING

1lb Potatoes (when peeled)
3ozs sugar (I would imagine caster sugar)
3 ozs butter
4 eggs
Grated rind of one lemon
Pinch of salt

Boil potatoes and mash smooth and dry.
While still hot, beat in butter, sugar, eggs, lemon rind and salt.
Bake in a moderate oven for 40 minutes and serve sprinkled with sugar.

I have not tried it but thank you I will try it tomorrow my hubby is on a gluten free diet so if it tastes nice it should be ideal.

Sounds like a good way to use up potato when you have a sack that needs using and can't stomach another pile of mash or anything resembling a potato lol.

1Sue23 - I hope your husband likes it!

LOL ZoeGirl! :rotfl:


It's one of those recipes that looks intriguing but until you make it, you can't imagine what it would taste like!

I found a recipe for Sweet Potato pudding that I've made often this past winter. We had a glut of sweet potato (the white flesh variety). Only had 2 eggs in it though. It's got a brown sugar/walnut topping. Served it with custard and it was lovely. I'm off to bed so if anyone's interested I'll post the recipe tomorrow.

Oh yes please....I'd love to see the recipe AussieLass

I made a potato and orange pudding that was delicious and a bit like a souffle.

I cannot remember where I found this recipe a few weeks ago, it's still on my list of recipes to try

In a separate dish, beat together the remaining ingredients, then stir into the sweet potato mixture.

Sweet Potato Dessert

3 cups mashed sweet potato ( I used white but the orange flesh would be fine too)
1/2 cup sugar
2 beaten eggs
2 tbspoons butter
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cups plain flour
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 tbspoons butter

In large bowl mix cooked sweet potato, sugar,eggs butter, milk & vanilla.
Pour into greased baking dish.
Mix topping (except butter) and sprinkle over mixture.
Cut up butter into little cubes and sprinkle on top.
Bake mod oven 35 - 40 mins. I serve with custard.

Sorry about the cup measuements but just use any cup and it will work. It's pretty forgiving. It makes quite a bit so if there is only two of you, you might halve it.
