Steps:

- Add butter, sugar, and cream.
- Mix.
- Place in a small casserole dish.
- Top with marshmallows.
- Broil for about 5-10 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown.

Tips:
- Choose firm and dense sweet potatoes for a smooth and creamy casserole. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have blemishes.
- Use light brown sugar for a richer, more complex flavor. If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you can substitute granulated sugar and a teaspoon of molasses.
- Be careful not to overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still slightly firm when pierced with a fork.
- Don't skimp on the butter. It adds richness and flavor to the casserole.
- If you're using a glass baking dish, grease it well to prevent the casserole from sticking.
- Serve the casserole warm, topped with marshmallows or whipped cream.

Sweet potato casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and golden-brown crust, it's sure to be a hit at your next potluck or holiday dinner.
