Marshmallow-Topped Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes were never so sweet as they are in this dish--it's so yummy, it's almost a dessert.

Ingredients

4 pounds sweet potatoes or yams
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1 teaspoon cinnamon
A hearty sprinkle of nutmeg

Wash the sweet potatoes and boil them until soft. Drain, cool, and peel them, breaking them into small chunks.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and one cup of marshmallows over medium heat in a saucepan until melted. Mix in the sweet potatoes.

Put the mixture into a casserole baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top the sweet potatoes with the remaining 2 cups of marshmallows. Continue baking until marshmallows are light golden brown.

Enjoy!

Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

A delicious version of mashed potatoes that everyone will love!

Ingredients

5 pounds potatoes
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons butter, plus additional slivers
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wash the potatoes and cut them in quarters. (For extra creamy potatoes, peel them before boiling. For vitamin-rich potatoes, leave the skin on.) Boil until soft and mashable. Drain and mash potatoes, mixing in the cream cheese and sour cream. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until light and fluffy.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and put the potato mixture into a casserole baking dish. Drop some small slivers of butter onto the potatoes and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.

Bake with a glass lid for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for about 10 more minutes.  Cool slightly and enjoy.
