Servings

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
- 4 large sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds), peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- one 16-ounce bag large marshmallows
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 4-quart baking dish.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a medium pot. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are fork tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the milk, cream, and butter until warm but not simmering.
- Return the potatoes to the pot and add the warm milk mixture, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Using a handheld mixer, whip the potatoes until smooth and creamy with no lumps. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the marshmallows.
- Bake until the marshmallows are golden brown, about 30 minutes.
