This sweet potato recipe is a favorite in our house during the holidays! You will love these - I got this recipe from my mother and have never heard of anyone else making them like this.

Ingredients

6-8 fresh sweet potatoes
1/4 C. brown sugar (light or dark)
1/4 stick butter or margarine
marshmallows (as many as you'd like)

Directions

Precook your sweet potatoes in a large pan of water on stove, until they are softened, but still firm. Cool in cold water. Peel and slice lengthwise. Put about 1/4 stick of butter or margarine in a large frying pan. On low, melt butter and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of brown sugar over butter. Add slices of sweet potatoes in single layer. Fry until they start to caramelize, turn over and caramelize the other side. I usually have to do this 2 or 3 times until I have all my potatoes fried. Then place in an oven-proof bowl or Dutch Oven. Place marshmallows over top, and bake uncovered at 350 degrees until marshmallows start to brown. Serve.
