Ingredients
- 7 sweet potatoes
- ½ cup molasses
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 cup toasted pecans chopped
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove.
- Place potatoes into a large pot of boiling water. Boil for approximately 25 minutes until they are just fork tender.
- Remove from water and allow to cool until they can be easily peeled by hand. The skin will come off easily at this point. Cut potatoes into small cubes and place into a large bowl.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine molasses, cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter. Stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over potatoes. Toss to coat the potatoes in the glaze.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
