suzie... here is hand's down the best recipe I've ever had... from famed chef Emeril Legasse:

Emeril's Sweet Potato Casserole

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 med size)
1/4 cup OJ
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground mace
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 sm can pineapple chunks
2 cups mini marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9X13 pan. Bake sweet potatoes until fork tender, peel and mash. In large bowl combine potatoes, OJ, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and salt and beat until smooth. Spoon into pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, pineapple and raisins. Arange single layer of marshmallows over the top and bake about 20 minutes. Can be made a day ahead and then baked about 35 minutes before serving.

This recipe doesn't have nuts, but I have added chopped pecans as well... I've made it every year for the last 4... it is VERY rich, but man, it's a no fail crowd pleaser! AND it's EASY... which makes it my favorite recipe

2 cups mini marshmallows

Gag, hack, urgg . . . .Thank goodness there's someone around that will make those things feel loved.

I've got one similar to that one, but might I suggest using the full-sized marshmallows? If mini's are good, big ones are better!

I also have a recipe that doesn't use the marshmallows at all - just a combination of brown sugar, butter and pecans. Yum!

[Xrayted]

Sounds good. (but without the raisins, I think)

Maybe skip the sweet potatoes and add an extra bag of marshmallows...

The thread about dressing made me remember this thread. BikerChick, you aren't getting any ideas this year, are you?

BTW, where have you been?

Who needs marshmallows when you have brown sugar, butter & pecans?-
that's Pa cahns . . . . . and don't forget the Pet milk!

I just bake em, whip 'em up in a bowl, then plop a couple of marshmallow peeps on top.
Maybe this year I'll get crazy and throw in a couple of circus peanuts.

Between you and bikerchick, I'm gonna be really ill . . . .

We eat ours roasted with olive oil, garlic, salt, and thyme. I thought I hated sweet potatoes until it finally occurred to me not to try to make them any sweeter.
