Ingredients

  • 4 pounds sweet potatoes, quartered
  • 3 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
  • 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
  • ground cinnamon to taste
  • ground nutmeg to taste
  • 1 ¼ cups butter or margarine

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil until slightly underdone, about 15 minutes; drain and peel when cool enough to handle.

Step 3
While potatoes are cooling, combine 2 cups marshmallows, margarine, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows are melted.

Step 4
Stir potatoes into marshmallow sauce, mashing about half of the potatoes and breaking the other half into bite-sized chunks. Transfer into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup marshmallows evenly over top and continue to bake until marshmallows are slightly toasted and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
