Notes

Sweet potato with brown sugar and marshmallows
Is a classic American comfort dish, often served as a side during Thanksgiving and holiday dinners. This dish combines the natural sweetness of mashed or sliced sweet potatoes with rich, caramelized flavors from brown sugar, butter, and warm spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. The crowning feature is the golden, toasted layer of marshmallows on top, which adds a light, fluffy texture and a touch of whimsy.
When baked, the marshmallows melt slightly and develop a caramelized crust, creating a delightful contrast to the creamy sweet potatoes below. Some variations of the dish include chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty crunch, while others may incorporate a hint of vanilla or orange zest for added depth. The combination of earthy sweet potatoes, gooey marshmallows, and the warm, sugary glaze makes this dish a nostalgic favorite that blurs the line between side dish and dessert.
