Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet potatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using fresh sweet potatoes, peel and boil until tender, then mash. If using canned sweet potatoes, drain well.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sweet potatoes, brown sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
Baking
- Top the mixture with mini marshmallows.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until heated through and marshmallows are golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Notes
For a creamier texture, add more milk or use heavy cream instead. Adding chopped pecans or walnuts on top along with the marshmallows adds a nutty flavor. Make sure the sweet potatoes are well-mashed to avoid lumps.
