- 1.32 ounces 37.5 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 tbsp sea salt or according to taste
- 1/2 cup pecans finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the sweet potato cubes in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Mash the Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the boiled sweet potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Butter and Sugar: Pour the melted unsalted butter over the mashed sweet potatoes. Add brown sugar and mix well until the butter and sugar are fully incorporated.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the sweet potato mixture. Add sea salt according to taste. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sweet potato mixture.
- Transfer: Transfer the seasoned sweet potato mixture to a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mini-sized marshmallows over the top of the sweet potato mixture, covering it evenly.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the sweet potato mixture is heated through.
- Broil (Optional): If desired, you can broil the casserole for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a toasted appearance on the marshmallows. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and then serve the Damon’s Grill Sweet Potato Casserole as a delicious side dish for your holiday meals or gatherings.
