Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping sweet potatoes into chunks. Cook them in boiling water for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  2. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl with butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Spread the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly in the baking dish and top with mini marshmallows.
  5. Bake for 25-35 minutes until the marshmallows are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  6. For extra browning, broil for a few seconds if needed.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
