Best Sweet Potatoes And Marshmallows Recipes

SWEET POTATOES AND MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large pot. Stir in the brown sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring, until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise, then lengthwise again, making long quarters. Cut the quarters into 1-inch pieces. Boil the potatoes until they give a bit when poked with a fork, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and arrange in a single layer in a buttered 3-quart baking dish. Pour the syrup on top, making sure it covers the potatoes. Place the lemon slices on top and bake 35 minutes, spooning the syrup over the potatoes twice during that time. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender.
• Remove from the oven, discard the lemon slices and stir in the pecans. Top with the marshmallows. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees F, place the baking dish back in the oven, and cook until the marshmallows puff and turn brown, about 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Peel sweet potatoes, cut into small chunks, and add to a small pot with water to cover. Add 1 tsp. salt to water. Bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes. Meanwhile that's boiling, in a small saucepan add rest of ingredients except marshmallows. Bring to a boil, stirring a little. Remove from heat and add vanilla. When potatoes are done, drain water and put potatoes into a 2 1/2 qt. casserole dish. (I use my oval white corningware one.)Sprinkle with pecans, then pour sauce over all. Toss GENTLY to coat. Arrange so that all the pieces are submerged as much as possible. Bake, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. (I give the potatoes a gentle stir to turn them halfway through. Be careful doing this, sauce will be very hot and potatoes can fall apart easily. (Turn carefully.) Remove from oven and turn oven to low or medium broil. Top evenly with a nice layer of marshmallows completely covering. Place into oven and watch!! As soon as they start to poof up and brown remove them immediately or they will catch fire. If they burn...scrape top off into sink, retop with second half of bag of marshmallows and call do-overs! ;) :D Serve warm.
