Sweet Potatoes- Diced sweet potatoes sprinkled with sugar, brown sugar, butter, and loaded with miniature marshmallows.
One week from today we will be stuffing ourselves with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and I will especially be enjoying these yummy sweet potatoes. I never had sweet potato casserole until a few years ago and I think it's delicious Buuuttttttt, my family never fixed it and I grew up eating sweet potatoes prepared the way I am sharing with you. My husband know loves sweet potatoes, but wouldn't touch them when we first started dating.
Please note that in this recipe I use a little bit of orange juice. I have even used pineapple juice which is great, too. If you don't have either one of those juices then just omit it from the recipe.
I always scoop out the area of the dish that has the most marshmallows. I really love marshmallows!
I hope you give these a try...that is only if you're willing to part with the sweet potato casserole. Or, make two sweet potato dishes! 🙂
