Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes about 5 medium
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake sweet potatoes for 1 hour or until tender. (Sweet potatoes sometimes ooze and make a mess in the oven. I cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up and place the sweet potatoes on it.)
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Let sweet potatoes cool some and then peel the skin off. Place peeled sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Add brown sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
- Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Transfer sweet potato mixture to a greased 11x7-inch baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle marshmallows on top. Return to oven for 10 minutes.

Notes
If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a potato masher.
To make it spicy, add a quarter to a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sweet potato mixture.
