Pineapple, sugar and marshmallows lend a super sweetness to sweet potatoes. I've been making the casserole for years, both for special occasions at home and for casual dinners. —Ruth Leach, Shreveport, Louisiana

8 Servings
Prep: 45 min. Bake: 40 min.

Ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup butter, cubed
3/4 cup sugar
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
15 large marshmallows

Directions

Place sweet potatoes in a large kettle and cover with water; bring to a boil. Boil gently until potatoes can easily be pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 30-45 minutes. Drain; cool slightly.
Peel potatoes and place in a large bowl; mash. Stir in butter and sugar until butter is melted. Add pineapple, eggs, vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
Spoon into a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Top with marshmallows. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 8 servings.
