I was invited to a Thanksgiving dinner with my girlfriend's family and they asked me if I would cook a dish for the dinner. I volunteered to cook the Sweet Potato and Marshmallow dish, but I really have no clue how to make it.

1 Mash sweet potatoes by putting through a sieve or beating in an electric beater or using a potato masher or food mill.

5 Heat through (bake in slow oven (250F or (120C for 20-30 minutes, or in microwave).

6 Cover top with marshmallows.

I just toss in some candied yams from a can into a casserole dish, smush them up, add some cinnamon and nutmeg, a little orange juice, put the marshmallows on top and stick it in the oven (at the lowest temp another oven is cooking something in) and wait for the tops to brown

Sometimes I'll add some chopped pecans in there too.

You need to look in a cooking book.

All of these recipes are perfect...thanks you guys. This could save me from looking like a total idiot on Thanksgiving. Now, I just have to make sure I dont drink too much, lol.

Ohhh... I just made this for a Thanksgiving dinner this past weekend with friends. It went quickly:

Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
6 medium sized sweet potatoes
10.5 oz bag of minature marshmallows
6 oz bag of walnuts

Sauce:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cut butter or margarine

Extra Sauce: (to put on mid way through baking)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 cut butter or margarine

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/4 inch slices or maybe a little larger. Place in a boiling pot of salted water. Cover and cook 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Make sure you slice before boiling - it will be MUCH easier to peel the skin off. Drain water and run cold water over the slices. Remove peels and place the slices in a 9x13 baking dish.

Take walnuts and chop up in a food processor to smaller pieces. Set aside.

In a medium pot over medium heat, combine first group of sauce ingredients. Heat mixture to boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occassionally for 5 minutes. Pour mixture over sweet potatoes. Add walnuts and marshmallows. Use as many marshmallows as you want - I used about 1/3 of the bag. Set timer at 12 minutes.

While the sweet potatoes are in the oven, start on 2nd group of extra sauce - same way. At the end of 12 minutes, pour mixture over and set timer for 8 more minutes.

Makes about 6-8 servings. General rule of thumb is 1 potato for every person, but you'll end up with some extras. (They are so good reheated too!).

Enjoy!

I am not fond of sweets, though it is a requirement and it is not all that bad.

Just remember marshmallows and or nuts are always optional.
