Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows

Ingredients: Serves 12
6 pounds sweet potatoes, skins on
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. kosher salt
2 cups warm whole milk
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 (16-ounce) bag large marshmallows
Freshly ground pepper , to taste

Preheat oven to 325°. Cut sweet potatoes into 2-inch slices and leave skin on. Add to a large stockpot and cover with water. Cover pot and bring to a gentle boil for 30 minutes—potatoes should be firm, not mushy. Drain. Peel potatoes while running cold water over them. Mash in a bowl with a ricer or masher.

Put potatoes back in stockpot over medium heat and add cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, and salt. Pour in the milk a little at a time. Mix well. Spread potatoes evenly into coated 10" x 14" baking dish, leaving 2 inches for marshmallows. Add marshmallows on top in even rows. Bake for 30 minutes, checking frequently, or until the marshmallows are golden brown.

This is one of those sweet potato recipes that isn't too sweet. It has a rich flavor, but if you're looking for more of a sweet taste, you can add some brown sugar. Enjoy!
