Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil.
- Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork.
- Bake for 30-50 minutes, depending, on the size of your sweet potatoes, or until the potatoes fork tender. You can tell if they're fork tender because the fork will easily go through the potatoes.
- Carefully cut the potatoes in half, and allow them to cool.
- Decrease the oven temperature to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
- Scoop the flesh of the potatoes, and add it into the bowl.
- Mash everything together.
- Spread the mixture into a medium (2 quart) casserole dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until heated though.
- Top the potatoes with the mini marshmallows and return to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown.
Notes
- Sweet potatoes - Most of the yams sold in the U.S. are actually sweet potatoes. Feel free to use "yams" if you can't find sweet potatoes.
- Brown sugar - Light or dark brown sugar will work. Whether or not you should pack the brown sugar depends on your desired sweetness.
- Pack the brown sugar for a sweet casserole.
- Butter - I like to use salted butter. Feel free to use unsalted butter if you prefer.
- Milk - Any milk from skim to whole milk will work. Whole milk will give you a creamier casserole.
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Salt
- Ground cinnamon - Pumpkin pie spice also work well.
- Mini marshmallows
