Mike's Sweet Potatoes
- 6 large sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 13 cup light brown sugar (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon sherry wine (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 14 cup raisins
- 18 large marshmallows
- Scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt, and place in a 3-quart saucepan.
- Cover with cold water, and place the pan over medium-high heat, covered.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender, 20 minutes.
- Drain and set aside.
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly butter or mist with vegetable oil spray a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Set the pan aside.
- Cut the butter into tablespoon-size pieces, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, peel, cut into quarters and place on top of the butter in the bowl.
- Add the brown sugar, orange juice, sherry, salt, and cinnamon.
- Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until the potatoes are fluffy and the butter has melted, 1 minute.
- Add the eggs and blend until they are incorporated, 30 to 45 seconds.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Turn the sweet potato mixture into the prepared pan.
- Line up the marshmallows on top of the sweet potatoes, with three across and six down, or whatever pattern works for you.
- Place the pan in the oven and let it bake until the marshmallows are well browned and the casserole is bubbly, 23 to 27 minutes.
- Remove and serve at once.
