Equipment
- 8-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° Fahrenheit and fil a medium or large pot with water.
- Place the diced sweet potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, allow the potatoes to simmer for 15 minutes to soften.
- Drain the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Combine the potatoes with the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and vanilla. Mash until no chunks of potatoes remain. (If there are a few small chunks left, the casserole will still be okay.)
- Pour the mashed potato mixture into an 8-inch baking dish and spread the marshmallows evenly over the top.
- Bake the casserole for 35 minutes or until the marshmallows are lightly brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
