Upgrade your holiday feast with this classic sweet potato casserole topped with irresistible gooey marshmallows. Roast the sweet potatoes for enhanced flavor and easy peeling. Perfect for prepping ahead!
Ingredients:
  • 8 sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • Finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cups large marshmallows (about 12 ounces), cut in half with scissors
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with vegetable oil. Scrub, dry, and slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Place them cut side down on the baking sheet, prick with a fork, and bake for 40-45 minutes until soft. Let the potatoes cool before handling.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375ºF. Grease a 3-quart or 9-x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Peel the cooled sweet potatoes and discard the skins. Place the inner flesh in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large bowl.
  • Prepare the mashed potatoes: Combine 1/4 cup of butter, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper. Mix using a stand mixer on low speed until creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a buttered baking dish. Alternatively, use a potato masher and wooden spoon to achieve a creamy consistency before transferring to the baking dish.
  • Before baking the casserole, sprinkle the top with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Loosely cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until heated through.
  • Distribute the marshmallows evenly on top of the potatoes. Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the marshmallows are melted and golden brown.
  • Serve: Allow the casserole to cool briefly and serve piping hot. Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you enjoyed the recipe, please consider rating it and sharing your feedback below!
