Whipped Sweet Potato Casserole recipe

My mom always used canned sweet potatoes for this recipe but I think I prefer fresh. They are able to absorb more butter flavor! This recipe serves 8.

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds sweet potatoes
• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon of each cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 4 cups marshmallow

Directions:

1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in a pot of well salted water and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

2. Strain the potatoes into a colander and place into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.

3. Add the butter, sugar, and spices. Blend in a stand mixer or with a hand held mixer on medium speed. Fold in the pecans.

4. Place in a baking dish and top with marshmallows.

5. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until marshmallows are browned.
