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!
This was absolutely delicious! The sweet potatoes were so creamy and the marshmallows on top made it extra special. Will definitely make again!
Is this supposed to be a dessert? Sweet potato with marshmallows seems weird. My grandma would roll in her grave if she saw this!
Great recipe! I added a bit of nutmeg and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a twist. Everyone loved it!
Super easy to make! My kids loved it, even my picky eater! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
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.
Yummm!!!
