Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium sweet potatoes or 4 medium yams, about 2 lbs
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup crushed pineapple
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Wash potatoes, peel & cut into 1/2 inch slices.
  • Cook in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain well, place into a 2 quart casserole dish & mash.
  • Add brown sugar, margarine & salt; continue mashing until no lumps remain.
  • Mix in orange juice & pineapple & set aside.
  • Place first 5 topping ingredients into a medium sized pot, over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the margarine is melted.
  • Add the marshmallows & toss to coat.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with the marshmallow mixture & sprinkle with the pecans.
  • Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350F oven until the potatoes are heated through & the marshmallows are melted, 30- 45 minutes.
  • I sometimes leave it longer to make the topping almost become like candy!
