Instructions
- Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Heat the pot on the stove over high heat until boiling. Reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- Pour the sweet potatoes into a colander to drain off the water, then return the sweet potatoes to the pot. Add the butter, milk, cinnamon, sugar and salt. Mash well with a potato masher or whip with an electric mixer.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease a 3-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon with a fork until crumbly. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping over the sweet potatoes.
- Bake the casserole at 375ºF for 10-12 minutes until hot. Top with the mini marshmallows then bake for an additional 5-6 minutes until the marshmallows are toasted golden brown on top. Watch the marshmallows closely while baking; they can burn quickly!
- Remove the casserole from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
