  • Add enough water to cover the potatoes plus about an additional inch.
  • Bring potatoes to a boil and allow to boil for about 10 minutes.
  • Check for tenderness with a fork.
  • Don't overcook because potatoes will bake in the oven for a few minutes.
  • Drain potatoes.
  • Place in a casserole dish.
  • Pour juice over potatoes.
  • Top with pats of butter.
  • Sprinkle with sugar.

If the potatoes need to be sweeter just sprinkle more granulated sugar over the top until the desired sweetness level is reached.
Feel free to add more marshmallows.
