Marshmallow Sweet Potato Casserole (for Passover)

There are really only two things I like about Passover; the first thing being sitting on pillows and the second being the marshmallow sweet potato dish that someone in my family inevitably makes. Unleavened bread and brisket are really not my thing.

Any which way, being a safe 3,000 miles away from my family, when Passover rolled around this year, I took it upon myself to make my own sweet potato casserole.

Follows are steps you can take to make your own. Oh rapture!

Step 1 Go get stuff.

ingredients:

5 large sweet potatoes (or two cans of yams)
1/4 stick of unsalted butter and/or maple syrup equivalent
1 tsp brown sugar
5 shakes of ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
1 bag of little marshmallows
1 bag of large marshmallows

kitchenware:

- casserole dish
- sharp knife
- spoon
- measuring spoons
- aluminum foil

I feel that I must comment on marshmallows...the ones pictured here are made with gelatin which is made from the leavings from pork and other meat... which might be okay with a Parve meal, but not so much for Pesach. So instead, spend the extra (lots extra!) shekels and get the "kosher for Passover" marshmallows. Your right in all other ways, a GREAT way to eat your sweets! thanks.

Dude for some reason when i was uploading my pictures last night i got some random picture of a sweet potato casserole and it looks like it was yours...

It was a bug from the new site. It should be fixed by now.

Also, you can't use butter unless it's a dairy meal!

[randofo]

Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that. I think unsalted soy butter is okay though, but that is where the maple syrup comes in. You can replace the butter with the maple syrup.

I think it's good to have a little fat- soy margerine, as you suggest- for texture.

If it's for Passover, be sure to use kosher marshmallows. Some marshmallows are made from animal gelatine... Being only vaguely/slightly Jewish, I don't recall a lot of traditional meals from Passover celebrations, especially WRT main courses. My favorite thing was the horossis (sp? ground up apples and almonds and cinnamon...)
