Notes
- To bake sweet potatoes: Place unpeeled sweet potatoes on baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree F oven for about an hour (place a piece of aluminum foil on the baking sheet for easy clean up)! Once done, slice in half and scoop out center.
- Make ahead. Assemble the casserole 24 hours in advance. Cover with foil and refrigerate (leave off the marshmallows). Bake when ready as directed. You may need to add a few extra minutes since this will be chilled.
- Texture options. If you want a little crunch, add some candied pecans on top of the sweet potato casserole before baking. Then add marshmallows as directed.
- Storage. Cover the leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
- Don't over-cook the Sweet Potatoes. If they are too wet, the casserole will be mushy or runny. Drain any excess liquid if needed.
