2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered
5/8 cup margarine
5/8 cup brown sugar
1½ cups miniature marshmallows, divided
Ground cinnamon to taste
Ground nutmeg to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 8×8″ baking dish. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil until slightly underdone, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine margarine, brown sugar, one cup marshmallows, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows are melted. Stir potatoes into marshmallow sauce. While stirring mash about half of the potatoes, and break the others into bite-sized chunks. Transfer to prepared dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cover top evenly with remaining marshmallows. Return to oven and bake until marshmallows are golden brown.
Makes six servings.
