Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 stick (8 tbsp) butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 16 oz bag mini marshmallows

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Rinse, peel and pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork. Bake on a baking sheet until tender, about 45 minutes.
  3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and add to a large bowl or mixer. Whip with an electric mixer until smooth.
  4. Add sugar, salt, eggs, butter, evaporated milk and vanilla. Mix well.
  5. Smooth mixture into a greased 9x12 (or similar) casserole dish. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and place pecans then marshmallows on top. You may not need to use the whole bag of marshmallows but use enough to cover the whole casserole. Return to oven for about 5-7 minutes or until toasted on top. Watch carefully to ensure the marshmallows don't burn.
