Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Line a sheet pan with foil, and place the sweet potatoes on it. Prick them with a fork, and then bake for 40-50 minutes, depending on their size. Test with a fork to ensure they’re done–their skins will start to collapse when they’re soft. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven.
- Lower the oven temp to 350, and let the sweet potatoes cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, cinnamon, and salt.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and add them to the bowl. Stir and mash everything together to combine.
- Spread the mixture into a small 20-ounce baking dish, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking dish, scatter the marshmallows on top, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the marshmallows toast and become lightly golden brown. Serve immediately enjoy .
