Le Creuset Pumpkin casserole dish in flame.

This is one of my most favorite sides during the holidays; it’s easy to make, and my kids love it.
INGREDIENTS 

6 sweet potatoes

Bag of mini-marshmallows

Some butter – optional – I happen to put butter in everything

Some brown sugar – I used 1/4 cup

Proportions can change depending on your preference. Add more or less of any ingredient to suit your taste.

Boil potatoes with skins on. Can be boiled a day in advance. When done (when a knife easily enters the potato) let cool.

After the sweet potatoes have cooled enough to handle, remove the skins. The skin should  just slide off.

DIRECTIONS

Pre-heat oven to 350 F

Place ingredients directly into an oven proof dish. I use the  Pumpkin casserole dish in the color flamebecause it has even heat and looks festive.

Chop or mash the sweet potatoes with a folk.

Sprinkle brown sugar over top

Sprinkle 3/4 mini-marshmallows over top

Dot with butter (if desired)

Mix all together

Cook at 350 F for about a half hour or until heated through.

Add the reminder of the mini-marshmallows on top for garnish.
