Instructions
- Combine sweet potatoes, butter, 2 tablespoons cream, sugar, and salt in a large pot. Cook, covered, over low heat until potatoes are fall-apart tender (about 35-40 minutes).
- Remove from the heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons cream and vanilla extract; mash the potatoes with a potato masher or, for a fluffier, smoother texture, transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and beat on high speed with an electric mixer. Taste and season with extra sugar for added sweetness, extra salt, or warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg, if desired.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a 2-quart baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle pecans over the potatoes and add marshmallows on top.
- Bake, uncovered, in a 375°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prepare the casserole 1-2 days in advance. First make the filling, and then smooth it into the baking dish. Do not add the topping. Cover and refrigerate. When you’re ready to bake the casserole, take it out of the fridge and allow the dish to come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. Cover and bake at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes (or until the potatoes are nice and warm). Remove the cover, add the pecans and marshmallows on top, and return the casserole to the oven for about 15 more minutes (or until the marshmallows are golden brown).
