Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows in 8-inch square dish. You can double it for a 9x13 dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh sweet potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400, and gather ingredients. Line a sheet pan with foil, and place the sweet potatoes on it. Prick them with a fork, and then bake for 40-50 minutes, depending on their size. Test with a fork to ensure they're done--their skins will start to collapse when they're soft. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven.

  2. 2

    Lower the oven temp to 350, and let the sweet potatoes cool for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, and salt.

  3. 3

    Peel the sweet potatoes and add them to the bowl. Stir and mash everything together to combine. Finally, stir in the egg.

  4. 4

    Spread the mixture into a small 20-ounce (0.6L) baking dish, and bake for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the baking dish, scatter the marshmallows on top, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the marshmallows toast and become lightly golden brown. Serve immediately.
