Start by peeling and chopping the sweet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot filled with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps for a creamy consistency.
To the mashed sweet potatoes, add brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Using a whisk, combine these ingredients thoroughly until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish with a bit of butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture. If you’re using pecans, add them as well for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and slightly toasted. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is bubbly and fragrant.
