If you’re a fan of classic holiday comfort food, you’re in for a treat! Learn how to make the easiest Old Fashioned Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows. It's a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing recipe filled with tender sweet potatoes, warm spices, and that irresistible toasted marshmallow topping.
4 large sweet potatoes
½ cup butter
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup heavy crea
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups mini marshmallows
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cubed sweet potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until just fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain gently to keep slices intact.
In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt water. This creates a glossy, syrupy glaze that clings to the sweet potatoes.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle mini marshmallows across the entire surface. Bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the marshmallows are melted and the tops are caramelized and golden brown.
