Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by peeling and chopping the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a large pot of water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the sweet potatoes for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
- In the same pot, add the drained sweet potatoes back in, and use a potato masher to mash them until smooth. Carefully incorporate the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and homogenous.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for optimal baking conditions. While the oven warms up, grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray. Scoop the creamy sweet potato filling into the prepared dish and spread it evenly.
- Evenly layer the mini marshmallows on top of the sweet potato filling, covering the surface completely.
- Carefully place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-35 minutes, keeping an eye on it as it cooks.
- Once baked to golden perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
Keep an eye on the marshmallows to avoid burning. For a creamier texture, use an electric mixer while mashing the sweet potatoes. For added flavor, adjust spices as desired, and consider drizzling caramel sauce before serving.
