Aunt Margaret’s Sweet Potato Casserole

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 50 min. Bake: 50 min. YIELD: 12 servings.
My great-aunt made an incredible sweet potato casserole for our holiday dinners. I’ve lightened it up a bit, but we love it just the same. —Beth Britton, Fairlawn, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), peeled and cubed
  • TOPPING:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
  • FILLING:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place sweet potatoes in a 6-qt. stockpot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, make topping by combining flour, brown sugar, oats and salt; cut in butter until crumbly.
  • 2. Drain potatoes; return to pan. Beat until mashed. Add sugar, milk, eggs, butter and vanilla; mash. Transfer to a broiler-safe 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle topping over potato mixture.
  • 3. Bake, uncovered, until topping is golden brown, 40-45 minutes; let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with marshmallows. If desired, broil 4-5 inches from heat until marshmallows are puffed and golden, 30-45 seconds.
