Mallow-Topped Sweet Potatoes
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

This recipe is amazing! My husband and I loved the combination of spices and thought it almost tasted like dessert. Yum! I will definitely be making this recipe again!
Just like Mom's!
I made this for my daughter-in-law's family in Argentina several years ago. Since then this is the one dish they ask for every time I visit.
Very appealing look, but much better recipes are out there.
Every year I try a different sweet potato recipe. Well, I have finally find one that I will stick with. Great side dish.
I used half evaporated milk and half water because I didn't have 2%. Also, since I only had 2 sweet potatoes, I cut everything down to a 1/3 to make it enough for 2.
This is a staple on my table for Thanksgiving & Christmas dinner. Must try recipe! It's always well received :)

Very good. I had to use the mini mashmellows. It was a big hit I made it for Thanksgiving.
My family LOVES this recipe! Great for Holidays!
