Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain the canned crushed pineapple, reserving ¼ cup of the juice.
Peel and chop the sweet potato into small pieces.
Place chopped sweet potato in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender. Drain.
Mash the cooked sweet potatoes with 3 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup pineapple juice until smooth.
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple.
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into a casserole dish and dot with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place halved marshmallows on top of the sweet potato.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Replace pineapple juice with orange juice or milk for a different flavor profile.

Swap marshmallows for a streusel topping made with brown sugar, butter, and pecans for a crunchy alternative.

Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potatoes for a warm, spiced flavor.

Mix in shredded coconut for extra texture and sweetness.

Use frozen sweet potato cubes if fresh sweet potatoes aren’t available, just adjust cooking time.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
