SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS

4 lbs sweet potatoes 

1/2 cup brown sugar 

4 Tbsp salted butter 

1/3 cup heavy cream 

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1 pinch nutmeg 

1/4 tsp cinnamon 

2 cups mini marshmallows 

INSTRUCTIONS 

Place a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 350ºF. Grease a three-quart casserole dish with butter. Set a large pot of water over high heat. Peel and dice sweet potatoes. Add them to the water once it begins to boil.

When the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, drain them, and add them to a large bowl. Mash them until they are smooth.

To a medium-sized heavy bottom pan set over medium heat add brown sugar and salted butter. Whisk until a caramel forms.

Add the cream and whisk to incorporate.

Add the salt, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the caramel and whisk to incorporate.

Add the mash to the greased casserole dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Top the casserole with 2 cups mini marshmallows, more or less to your liking.*

Bake the casserole at 350ºF until the marshmallows are golden, about 20 minutes.
