Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs Large Sweet Potatoes (approx. 5-6 medium)
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 0.5 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 0.5 cup Whole Milk
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste or Extract
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans
  • 0.33 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 0.25 cup Brown Sugar (for topping)
  • 3 tbsp Melted Butter (for topping)
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a foil lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
  2. Pierce the sweet potatoes. Use a fork to poke several holes in each potato to allow steam to escape. Note: This prevents the potatoes from bursting under pressure.
  3. Roast for 45–60 minutes. Place on the tray and bake until the skins are wrinkled and the centers feel very soft when squeezed.
  4. Cool and peel. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then the skins should slide right off by hand.
  5. Reduce oven to 350°F (175°C). While the potatoes cool, dial back the heat for the second phase of cooking.
  6. Mash until smooth. In a large bowl, use your electric hand mixer to break down the roasted flesh.
  7. Incorporate the base ingredients. Whisk in the 0.5 cup melted butter, milk, 0.5 cup brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Continue until a thick, uniform custard forms.
  8. Spread the mixture. Pour the custard into your greased 9x13 dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Prepare the pecan topping. Mix pecans, flour, 0.25 cup brown sugar, and 3 tbsp melted butter in a small bowl.
  10. Layer and bake. Scatter the pecan mix over the top. Bake for 25 minutes until the topping is fragrant and bubbling.
  11. Finish with marshmallows. If using, add the mini marshmallows and return to the oven for 5-8 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
