My family likes the marshmallow topping, but you can also vary it if you prefer a crunchier texture. Ingredients:
4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 5 large), peeled and cubed |
1 cup 2% milk |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
18 large marshmallows |
Directions:
1. Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender; drain.
2. Transfer to a large bowl and mash. Add the milk, brown sugar, butter, egg, cinnamon, vanilla, allspice, salt and nutmeg; beat until smooth.
3. Transfer to a greased shallow 2-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until heated through. Top with marshmallows. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or just until marshmallows begin to puff and brown. Yield: 10 servings.
