Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Peel the potatoes and cut into ¾-inch slices and submerge them in cool water so that they’re covered by 1-2 inches. Gradually bring them to a gentle boil. Add the chicken bouillon and salt once a gentle boil is reached. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until very fork tender. Drain and return them to the warm pot they boiled in.
- Add the butter and let it melt while the steam escapes from the potatoes for 5 full minutes.
- Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Combine the whisked eggs with the half and half and add it to the potatoes. By now they should have sufficiently cooled, (this way the eggs don’t cook when added).
- Use a fork to mash and stir the potatoes, leave some texture and don’t over-mash, but ensure the eggs are fully incorporated.
- Transfer to 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
- Combine the chopped pecans, melted butter, maple syrup, flour, and vanilla extract. Distribute them in an even layer over the sweet potatoes.
- Add the marshmallows in an even layer.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Check on them every few minutes after that until the marshmallows have begun to turn brown, pay close attention to ensure they don’t burn. (Mine took just under 24 minutes.)
- Remove from the oven and let them sit for 10-15 minutes, this allows the filling to firm up and the topping to crisp even further. Serve!
