Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 5 ounces mini marshmallows

Equipment

  • 8 inch Dutch oven

Directions

  • Peel, cube, and boil the sweet potatoes in enough water to just cover them.
  • When the sweet potatoes are soft, remove the lid and allow the pot to start boiling the water off. Just before boiling dry add the orange juice, butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Bring just to the boil.
  • Remove from the heat then mash with a fork until smooth or a texture of your preference. Smooth the top of the potatoes.
  • Place a layer of mini marshmallows on the top of the sweet potatoes, leaving enough gap for the marshmallows to puff a little without touching the Dutch oven lid.
  • Place the lid on the Dutch oven and cover with coals, check regularly aiming to brown the marshmallows, without burning.
