This delicacy is only cooked 3 times a year; Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. This amazingly sweet side is packed with butter, sugar, and everything else to put a smile on your face and make you feel content for hours after you eat it.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cups mashed potatoes, cooked and peeled
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup softened butter
- 1 large bag of jet-puffed marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350
- Grease a baking dish (I use butter for this)
- Combine the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pour combined ingredients above into greased baking dish
- Combine the following ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup softened butter
- Sprinkle combined ingredients above to evenly coat the potato mixture in the greased pan
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes COVERED with foil
- Remove foil and continue to bake for 7 minutes to let the brown sugar mixture caramelize
- If caramelization does not take place, you should broil on low to speed this process up
- Place large marshmallows over baked brown sugar mixture and continue to bake until marshmallows begin to brown.
- You can also use a blow torch to evenly brown the marshmallows.
