Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small pieces, then boil until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

Notes
For added creaminess, consider using heavy cream instead of milk. You can also make it vegan by replacing butter with coconut oil and using plant-based milk.
