"THIS SWEET POTATO casserole could be a dessert—it has just the right touch of sweetness. But we serve this tasty side dish with our meal, like most people do with their own favorite sweet potato recipes. It goes so well with turkey and all the trimmings."

1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped nuts

Place sweet potatoes and enough water to cover in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Cover and cook for 25-35 minutes or just until tender. Drain; cool slightly and peel. In a large bowl, mash potatoes. Stir in butter, sugar and raisins. Place in a 2-qt. baking dish; sprinkle with nuts and marshmallows. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through and marshmallows begin to brown.
