I normally prefer yams over sweet potatoes when making this dish however this time around I decided to use sweet potatoes and it was just as good. Thats also known as candied or marshmallow-ed yams! Sometimes its hard to define the taste but as long as the results are the same, right? Anyhow, its easy to whip for the holidays when you need to add another side dish with your turkey or ham. Also this is my first time making from a can. Years before I have always used fresh yams or sweet potatoes do this dish. It takes just a little longer to bake but its just as good, if not better.
Ingredients: (serving for 10)2 Can of sweet potatoes or 4-5 fresh raw sweet potatoes
1/2 bag of marshmallows
brown sugar
butter
*option-Throw bread crumbs/stuffing on top for a crunchy taste
Find a non baking tray and butter it up a little before you throw in your canned sweet potatoes. They should be pre cut in a bite size but you make smash a little more if you like it smoother. Add brown sugar on top of dish. Amount is up to you but I like alot so I make sure to cover the whole top. Leave in oven for 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes and then throw marshmallows on top minutes after. Let sit in oven for another 5-10 minutes until marshmallow area almost melted but not gone. Pull out and let sit to cool off.
Everyone loves this easy dish everytime. It has a nice balance to the salty dishes served at the table.
Love, peace & eats!
