Marshmallow stars shine in this surprising American side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1.2kg sweet potato
  • 6.90 gm olive oil
  • 58.75 gm sour cream
  • 1.25 gm ground cinnamon
  • 54.00 gm maple syrup
  • 250.00 ml vanilla marshmallows, halved
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Use a fork to prick sweet potatoes all over. Place a piece of foil on a flat surface, then place a potato in the center of each foil. Drizzle each potato with 1/2 teaspoon of oil and rub to coat. Wrap each potato in foil. Place all the foiled potatoes on a baking tray and roast for 40 to 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, discard the foil. Peel the potatoes and place the flesh in a large bowl. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth. Stir in sour cream, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper, then beat with a wooden spoon until creamy.
  • Spread the mashed potato evenly in a 5cm deep, 20cm square (1.5 litre capacity) greased ovenproof dish. Arrange the marshmallows, cut-side up, on top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the marshmallows are lightly golden. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
