This past Thanksgiving I was put in charge of bringing a few dishes- one being the sweet potatoes. This was my first time making them and it came out quite yummy!

Ingredients:
  • 6 Sweet Potatoes
  • 1/4 Cup (1/2 Stick) Butter or Margarine, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/4 Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 Cups Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows (apprx 3/4 of the bag)



Directions:
  • Peel, halve and boil sweet potatoes for 20 Minutes
  • Place sweet potatoes, and all ingredients minus the brown sugar and marshmallows in a mixing bowl
  • Blend with a mixer for a few minutes till most lumps are out
  • Slighlty grease your baking dish
  • Place potato mixture into dish, sprinkle lightly the light brown sugar on top then layer the mini marshmallows on top
  • Bake 15 to 20 min or until sweet potato mixture is heated through and marshmallows are lightly browned
Serve and see the smiles appear once they see those yummy mini marshmallows lighty toasted.
