Ingredients

  • 8 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for salting water
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How to Make It
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Salt the pot generously and then set the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.

  4. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and top with the marshmallows.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the center is warmed through and the marshmallows have browned slightly. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
