Ingredients

  • 3 cans (15-oz each) sweet potatoes, drained
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 15 large marshmallows

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2
    Place sweet potatoes in sprayed baking dish. Pour butter over potatoes. Sprinkle with brown sugar and salt. Top with marshmallows.
  • 3
    Bake at 350°F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are thoroughly heated and marshmallows are lightly browned.

  • Canned sweet potatoes, marshmallows, and a few pantry items make this an easy side dish to throw together.
  • No large marshmallows? Use 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows so there’s no question everyone will get their fair share of the golden, gooey topping. Sprinkle mini marshmallows to cover potatoes and bake. Keep an eye on them so they don’t start to brown too quickly.
  • If the marshmallows start browning too quickly, loosely cover the baking dish with foil for last 10 minutes of baking time. The shiny nature of foil deflects the heat, slowing down the overall browning of ingredients that are high in sugar or fat.
