Ingredients

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 tbsps unsalted butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Salt to taste
  • 1½ - 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce to low and cook until butter starts to turn light brown.
  • In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with a potato masher and fold in brown butter, milk, and ground cinnamon until just incorporated. Season with salt to taste.
  • Pour sweet potato mixture into a buttered casserole dish and spread into an even layer. Top with marshmallows and pecans, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
