Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 9 ounces crushed pineapple drained
- 2.5 cups mini marshmallows more if you like!
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add your unpeeled, uncut sweet potatoes. Cook at a steady boil for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until a fork can easily piece the potato all the way to the middle.
- Once the potatoes are cooked drain the water and run the potatoes under cool water until they are cool enough to handle.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut potatoes in half and gently press on the end of the potato to push it out of the skin. You can also cut a slit in the side of the potato and just peel off the skin.
- Place the peeled sweet potatoes in a large bowl and add the butter, salt, and orange juice. Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy.
- Gently fold the pineapple into the sweet potatoes until well mixed.
- Scoop the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Stop and remove casserole from the oven and add a single layer of mini marshmallows. Place back in the oven and continue to bake until the marshmallows are lightly browned, approximately 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
