Quantity Ingredient
3 mediums Sweet potatoes or yams
(about 8 oz. each)
½ cup Half-and-half
¼ cup Light brown sugar
2 tablespoons Butter
½ teaspoon Salt
2 eaches Eggs, separated
10 eaches Regular size marshmallows

Directions

Cook sweet potatoes or yams in boiling water until tender, about 40 minutes, and drain. When the potatoes have cooled slightly, peel them and return them to the cooking pot. Beat potatoes until they are smooth. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small saucepan, heat half-and-half, sugar, butter and salt over low heat, stirring, until butter has melted. Beat egg yolks in a medium-size bowl. Gradually beat in half-and-half mixture. Gradually beat egg yolk mixture into potatoes. Beat egg whites in a grease-free, medium-size bowl with clean beaters until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted. Fold beaten whites into the potato mixture. Turn into a 1½-quart, buttered casserole. (May be refrigerated at this point and baked later). Arrange marshmallows on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes (longer if refrigerated before baking), or until marshmallows are melted and lightly browned and the mixture is heated through.
