Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • ½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

  • ½ cup salted butter, cut into small pieces

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

  • cup brown sugar

  • 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.

  3. Place 1/2 sweet potatoes in a medium mixing bowl; mash. Stir in condensed milk, butter, and cinnamon. Add remaining sweet potato cubes; sprinkle in all but 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Stir gently to combine but not so brown sugar dissolves. Transfer potato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish and top with marshmallows; sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar on top.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until marshmallows are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
