Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Casserole
  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and cutting them into large chunks. Place in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well.
  2. Return the drained sweet potatoes to the pot and mash them until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well incorporated.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly in the dish.
  5. Evenly sprinkle mini marshmallows over the sweet potato filling.
  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown. If needed, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
