Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, well beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup miniature marshmallows or marshmallow crème

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, butter, salt, and milk until thoroughly blended.
  • The mixture should be smooth and creamy.Add the marshmallows and blend well, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into a buttered casserole dish. I use a 1½-quart dish that works perfectly for this amount.Bake for 45 minutes or until the marshmallows are melted and golden brown on top.
  • The pudding should be set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This is delicious warm, but some families prefer it at room temperature.
