Thanksgiving: Focus on Sides (Day 1)

Whipped Sweet Potato Bake

This recipe comes from Kraft Foods kitchen and is one of the simplest sweet potato dishes with a delicious return. The beating technique creates a much smoother texture than your run of the mill candied sweet potato dish. I have made it for a small group of people and for a large crowd; it works for all occasions. 

Ingredients:

• 3 cans (15 oz. each) sweet potatoes, drained
  
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted
  
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  
• 1 tsp. ground ginger
  
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  
• 3 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows

Directions:

1. HEAT oven to 350°F. Beat sweet potatoes, butter, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg with mixer until blended.
2. SPOON into lightly greased 1-1/2-qt. casserole dish; top with marshmallows.
3. BAKE 15 to 20 min. or until mixture is heated through and marshmallows are lightly browned.
