Ingredients
Makes 12 servings
3-4 large sweet potatoes
1 cup crushed pineapple
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Dash of salt
¼ cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten (Note 1)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups mini marshmallows
Directions
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes
Prep
I put the taters in the microwave, which takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
You can also boil or bake them, but microwaving is the quickest and retains more nutrients from the skin.
Put into ice water, and the skin peels right off.
Mash the potatoes in a bowl.
Fold in the remaining ingredients.
Save a cup of the marshmallows to put on top.
Cook
30 minutes at 400° with the top on and off for a few to crisp the marshmallow topping and serve.
Notes:
Don't put the egg in until it cools unless you want scrambled eggs in your casserole.
