Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Put the sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain the potatoes and move them to a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until dried, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer them to a mixing bowl. Keep the oven on.

  6. 6

    Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher until no large lumps remain. Add brown sugar, allspice, and cinnamon; keep mashing until the potatoes are evenly seasoned.

  7. 7

    Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish and spread the marshmallows in an even layer on top.

  8. 8

    Bake in the oven until the marshmallows just start to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 1 minute.
