Mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar and warm spices are topped with a decadent mini marshmallow topping in this favorite holiday side dish.

Ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 (10 1/2 ounce) package miniature marshmallows

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3 Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
4 Drain potatoes and transfer to a baking sheet.
5 Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until dried, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a mixing bowl. Keep the oven on.
6 Mash sweet potatoes with a potato masher until no large lumps remain. Add brown sugar, allspice, and cinnamon; continue mashing until potatoes are evenly seasoned.
7 Spoon mixture into a casserole dish and spread marshmallows in an even layer over top.
8 Bake in the oven until marshmallows just begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 1 minute.
