I've tried many recipes but keep coming back to this one! It can be prepared in advance & thrown in the oven while you do other things. Ingredients:
4 medium sweet potatoes or 4 medium yams, about 2 lbs |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup crushed pineapple |
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar |
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter |
1 teaspoon water |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Wash potatoes, peel & cut into 1/2 inch slices.
2. Cook in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Drain well, place into a 2 quart casserole dish & mash.
4. Add brown sugar, margarine & salt; continue mashing until no lumps remain.
5. Mix in orange juice & pineapple & set aside.
6. Place first 5 topping ingredients into a medium sized pot, over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the margarine is melted.
7. Add the marshmallows & toss to coat.
8. Top the sweet potatoes with the marshmallow mixture & sprinkle with the pecans.
9. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350F oven until the potatoes are heated through & the marshmallows are melted, 30- 45 minutes.
10. I sometimes leave it longer to make the topping almost become like candy!
