    I only had 3 cups of sweet potatoes and used less sugar. It turned out fine, but maybe a bit undercooked. Next time, I’ll follow the recipe better.

    Not bad, but I think it could use some cinnamon or nutmeg for flavor. Just a suggestion!

      I totally agree! A little cinnamon would really make it pop! Gonna try that next time.

      Cinnamon? Really? I thought this was sweet enough. Marshmallows already sweeten it a lot!

    Is this supposed to be a dessert? Sweet potato with marshmallows seems weird. My grandma would roll in her grave if she saw this!

    I didn’t realize you could mix sweet and savory like this. It’s different but kinda good. I’m confused though!

    I don’t get why people put marshmallows on sweet potatoes. Too sweet for my taste. I prefer the savory recipes.

      Cinnamon?! That’s so smart! I never thought of that. I bet it adds a nice touch. Gonna try this next time!

      Sounds good, but isn’t cinnamon a bit weird for a casserole? Like, isn’t that more for breakfast?

    Sweet potatoes never tasted so sweet! I’m not a big fan of sweet things, but this was good. Will make again!

    I don’t really understand why people put marshmallows in savory dishes. It’s strange. I think just plain sweet potatoes are better.

      I get where you’re coming from! Marshmallows can be a bit odd in savory food. But trust me, they add a nice sweetness to the dish! It’s all about balance.

    This recipe is a lie! It says sweet potatoes but tastes more like cake. What even is this?

  17. 4 stars
    So simple and delicious! My kids even ate it without complaining! Definitely making this again!

    It was ok, but I think it needed more spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for flavor. Also, too sweet for my taste.

      Looks good, but how did yours turn out? I tried a similar recipe and it was too soggy. Maybe I did something wrong?

    I followed the recipe but it turned out too soggy. I think less milk would help.
