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!
