Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Topping

The combination of sweet potato and marshmallow makes for a nice balance of sweetness without being overly so. But if you love a super sweet casserole add 1/3 cup brown sugar to the mashed sweet potato mixture.

Times

  • Prep Time : 15 min
  • Cook Time : 30 min
  • Ready Time : 45 min

Servings

8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 medium), peeled and cubed
  • 4 tablespoons margarine
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag marshmallows

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Cover potatoes with water in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and return to the pot. Add margarine, egg, vanilla and salt and mash with a fork or potato masher until slightly chunky. Stir in pecans.

Transfer to a greased 9-inch square baking dish and smooth top. Cover with marshmallows and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

    I wondered about the marshmallow whip also as the Kosher marshmallows don’t always melt well. I bought both the whip and the regular marshmallows. Don’t know which to use. I also add 1/2 can of pumpkin pie filling to my mashed sweet potatoes. Love the spices and then fill mini pie shells with the left over pie filling. The little kids love having their own pies.
