A number of us just had a similar discussion last week. I think that while technically you are correct and that referring to sweet potatoes as a "casserole" is true to the word of the definition, that your comment probably isn't true to the spirit of the definition. I would add the nuance of saying that a casserole is not only cooked in a casserole dish, but is also a dish comprised of multiple solid ingredients (tuna, noodles, etc).
So...you're both right! Isn't that awesome?
