  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Let stand for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  3. Remove skin from potatoes.
  4. Place potatoes, brown sugar, cream, butter, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Spoon mixture into greased 13 x 9 inch or 3 quart baking dish.
  6. Top with marshmallows.

Coconut Streusel

  1. Mix flour, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice in medium bowl.
  2. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until crumbly.
  3. Stir in pecans and coconut. Sprinkle over top.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes or until heated through and topping is golden brown.

Notes

To boil sweet potatoes: Peel and cut potatoes into 2 inch chunks. Place in large saucepan. Add cold water to cover 1 inch over potatoes. Bring to a boil. Cover and and cook over medium low heat 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain.
