Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

20 mins

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. (20 minutes)

03

Step

10 mins

Place ½ sweet potatoes in a bowl; mash. Stir in condensed milk, butter, and cinnamon. Add remaining ½ sweet potato cubes; sprinkle in all but 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Stir gently to combine but not so brown sugar dissolves. Transfer sweet potato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Top with marshmallows; sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar on top. (10 minutes)

04

Step

15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until marshmallows are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

For a deeper caramel flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of condensed milk slightly.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the sweet potato mixture.
Watch the marshmallows carefully while baking to prevent burning. If they start to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil.
