The Easiest Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows, or as needed

Instructions

1. Begin by placing the sweet potatoes in a large pot. Cover them completely with salted water and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the sweet potatoes simmer until they are tender, approximately 20 minutes. After simmering, drain all the water.
3. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). While the oven is heating, grease a deep casserole dish to prevent sticking.
4. In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes using a potato masher. Continue mashing until no large lumps remain, ensuring a smooth consistency.
5. Add the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir these ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.
6. Transfer the sweet potato mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Then, cover the top of the casserole completely and uniformly with marshmallows.
7. Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake until the marshmallows are a beautiful golden-brown color, usually around 30 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
