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.

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 love the recipe but is there a cheat recipe with use of the jar of whipped marshmallows?
We have sweet potatoes as a holiday sidedish. Will have try this receipe.
This looks delicious. I would love to give it a try.
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.
love the idea of pumpkin
Just made this and I used kosher marshmallows. It looks perfect and smells delicious. Hope it is good tomorrow!
I have good luck with the kosher marshmallows – Paskesz is a great brand http://www.paskesz.com/marshmallow.html
Perhaps a bit too sweet, maybe it’s just us. We made this half marshmallow, half not for Thanksgiving because my husband didn’t want marshmallows. We ended up eating all of his half and barely any of the side with marshmallows. It tasted more like dessert than a side dish.
