Ingredients
- 3 Pounds Sweet Potatoes
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Butter (half stick) softened
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 Tablespoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 Cup Pecans chopped
- 2 Cups Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
After giving the sweet potatoes a thorough cleaning and scrubbing (without peeling), either 1) Boil: Put them in a big kettle of water and pierce each one a few times with a fork or sharp knife. After they are very delicate, drain. 2) Bake: Prick all over, cook in the microwave for six minutes, and then roast for twenty minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, or until soft.
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375F. Apply grease to a 9×13 baking dish.
When the sweet potatoes are safe to handle, peel and mash them along with the eggs, cream, brown sugar, butter, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt in a big basin. Make sure the remaining ingredients are evenly dispersed and that they are well-mashed (no cinnamon clumps, for example). Once you've mashed the potatoes as much as you can by hand, you can use an immersion blender to purée them if they're not mashing as smoothly as you prefer or if you want them extra smooth.
Fill the baking dish with oil after adding the sweet potato mixture. Apply it evenly across the layer.
Apply it evenly across the layer.
Sprinkle the small marshmallows and chopped pecans on top of the sweet potatoes.
Bake the marshmallows for 20 minutes, or until they are nicely brown. Keep a close eye on it toward the finish to avoid burning them.
Serve and Enjoy!
