Description
A delicious Thanksgiving classic. Sweet potato casserole with melted marshmallows on top. Also great for Christmas. Low FODMAP if you eat 1/8th of the dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g sweet potato (about 2 middle size potatoes)
- 1/8 cup of butter
- 1/4 cup of (lactose-free) milk
- 1/8 cup of white sugar
- 1/8 cup of brown sugar
- 1 egg
- Large marshmallows
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes. Put them in a pan with a layer of water and bring to boil. Leave the potatoes to boil for 20 minutes until they are done.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them with a mixer or a fork.
- Put the mashed potato in a bowl.
- Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave by heating it in short bursts of 30 seconds. Repeat this until the butter has completely melted.
- Add the melted butter together with the milk, the egg and the sugar to the mashed sweet potato in the bowl. Add the cinnamon too and mix everything together with a mixer.
- Grease an oven dish and divide the mixture over the dish. Cover this with a layer of marshmallows.
- Put the oven dish in the oven for about 30 minutes. Watch the dish while it is baking. When the marshmallows have turned golden brown the dish is done (it would be a pity if the marshmallows burn). For some ovens, this takes a bit less than 30 minutes.
