My grandmother always served this sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving. The puffy marshmallow topping gives the dish a festive look, and spices enhance the sweet potato flavor. -Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana

Very good. I had to use the mini mashmellows. It was a big hit I made it for Thanksgiving.

I make this recipe during the course of the year. Instead of topping with marshmallows, I use marshmallow creme & spread on top of the casserole.

I have a lot of family members who do not like sweet potatoes and they love this. They said it taste like pumpkin pie. I have altered the recipe. I make more of the mashed sweet potatoes and cover the top with small marshmallows.

For even better flavor, steam the potatoes in their skins prior to peeling. I use my steam canner to do this. A metal colander above boiling water would also work.

I used canned Yams to help save time and they still turn out great!

I never liked sweet potatoes until I tried this recipe for my husband. I absolutely love these!

I've prepared this recipe since it came out in the 2002 magazine and everyone loves it and tries to guess what spices are in it!
