Candied Sweet Potatoes

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today, I made my first dish to bring for our family on Thanksgiving.

Every year, I went to the store and bought a dish.

My mother in law asked me if I ever made 'Sweet Potatoes' before,

I quickly replied "yes"

...

I made 'Sweet Potatoes' before at my previous job.

I opened a can, put the content inside a baking dish, and turned the oven on.

That counts as making it? Doesn't it?

Okay, maybe "no" but I just couldn't tell my mother in law that,

'No, I have not made Sweet Potatoes before'

...

How hard can it be? Not hard at all :)

Here is the recipe I used:

• Four Pounds of Sweet Potatoes
• 2 1/4 cups of brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cups of margarine (I used 'I can't believe its butter')
• 4 cups of miniature marshmallows
• Ground cinnamon to taste
• Ground nutmeg to taste 

Directions:

• Preheat over to 400 degrees F
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add potatoes (slightly underdone); drain, cool, and peel
• In a large pot combine margarine, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and marshmallows 
• I did this step twice. One bash, I used to mix with the sweet potatoes, and the second bash, I used on top of the sweet potatoes
• Stir potatoes with the marshmallows sauce. Smash potatoes and transfer to prepared dish.
• Finish with topping the sweet potatoes with marshmallows and bake for 15 minutes
