Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 lemon, sliced and seeded
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 cups marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large pot. Stir in the brown sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring, until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise, then lengthwise again, making long quarters. Cut the quarters into 1-inch pieces. Boil the potatoes until they give a bit when poked with a fork, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and arrange in a single layer in a buttered 3-quart baking dish. Pour the syrup on top, making sure it covers the potatoes. Place the lemon slices on top and bake 35 minutes, spooning the syrup over the potatoes twice during that time. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender.
  • Remove from the oven, discard the lemon slices and stir in the pecans. Top with the marshmallows. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees F, place the baking dish back in the oven, and cook until the marshmallows puff and turn brown, about 10 more minutes.

An easy and delicious traditional sweet potato casserole with marshmallows

Provided by Katie Clark

Categories     Easy Side Dishes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 lbs sweet potatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Vanilla
Salt
Topping
8 ounces mini marshmallows
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup butter - melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup flour
8 ounces mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Cook sweet potatoes using the desired method until soft. I prefer to boil them for about 20-30 minutes. You can remove the peels before or after - I do after I've boiled them.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place cooked sweet potatoes in a bowl and mash until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Add in heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and pecans. Mix together until everything is combined.
  • Place in a baking dish and smooth out.
  • Make the pecan topping by mixing together the pecans, butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Place on top of sweet potato mixture.
  • Top with mini marshmallows.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the marshmallows are nice and browned.

Tips:

  • Use a sweet potato that is firm and not too large. This will help ensure that the casserole cooks evenly.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You can check this by inserting a knife into the center of the potato. If the knife goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • When making the casserole, be sure to use a large bowl so that you have plenty of room to mix the ingredients.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes until they are smooth. You can use a potato masher, a hand mixer, or a food processor.
  • Add the eggs, butter, sugar, and spices to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix until well combined.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Top the sweet potato casserole with the marshmallows and pecans.
  • Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato casserole is a delicious and classic Southern side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavors, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give this sweet potato casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
