Easy Candied Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 pounds sweet potatoes, quartered
• 3 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
• 1.25 cups margarine
• 1.25 cups brown sugar
• ground cinnamon to taste
• ground nutmeg to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish for easy cleanup.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the sweet potatoes and boil until they are almost tender, approximately 15 minutes. Drain the water and peel the potatoes once they are cool enough to handle.
3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of marshmallows, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Gently stir the cooked sweet potatoes into the melted marshmallow mixture. Mash some of the potatoes while breaking others into bite-sized pieces for a delightful texture. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows over the sweet potatoes. Continue baking until the marshmallows turn a beautiful golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
