Equipment
- 11 x 9 casserole dish
- 6- quart pan
- knife
- Cutting board
- Vegetable peeler
Ingredients
- 6 large sweet potatoes
- ½ cup light brown sugar divided
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg optional
Instructions
- Wash sweet potatoes well to remove any dirt or dark spots. Peel away the skin using a potato peeler. Cube the sweet potatoes carefully with a knife on a cutting board. Cut into uniform sized pieces so they cook evenly in boiling water until fork tender–approximately 25 minutes depending upon thickness of slices).
- Drain well then return to pan and mash with butter, sugar, and spices; add enough milk or cream to reach desired consistency. We needed 1/2 cup. Add mixture to your 9 x 13 casserole dish. Top with marshmallows and additional brown sugar.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown. Serve right away.
Notes
Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Marshmallow topping does not hold up well, but this still tastes good for up to 4 days. You could always add more marshmallows to refresh the dish.
