Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup margarine, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped black walnuts
- 1/8 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s at the right temperature for baking.
-
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then cook them until tender. You can do this by boiling them in a large pot of salted water or by steaming them until soft. Drain well.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, egg, melted margarine, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, shredded coconut, chopped black walnuts, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until fully combined and smooth.
-
Bake: Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden.
-
Add Marshmallows: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and evenly sprinkle the miniature marshmallows on top of the sweet potatoes. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are melted and browned.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly before serving. For the best results, make this dish a day ahead and add the marshmallows just before serving. You can reheat the sweet potatoes and add additional marshmallows as needed.
Enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of Margie’s Sweet Potatoes, a perfect blend of sweet, spiced, and marshmallow-topped goodness that will leave everyone coming back for seconds!
