Many of us use the excuse that our family will be upset if there isn’t a ridiculously sweet marshmallow, nut, and brown sugar encrusted pan of sweet potatoes but the truth is this dish is just as satisfying and delicious. It has all the flavors of the original! Place this dish on the family table and they will all love it. – Susan Maria
