Open can. Drain off the liquid. Put in a casserole dish. Mix Dr. Pepper and brown sugar and pour over top so it comes up about 1/4 to 1/3 on the potatoes.
Bake in oven until potatoes are cooked and syrup has thickened. Top with mini marshmallows and return to oven until marshmallows are GBD.
If you want more like sweet potato souffle, drain syrup (reserving syrup) and add a touch of butter and mash/whip adding small amounts of syrup to get them creamy. Then put back in the dish and add marshmallows.
This is as close to a recipe that I have. I don't really measure, just toss a bit of this and a bit of that.
Oh, I have also been known to add a pinch of cayenne to them.

I treat them like regular mashed potatoes. Heat the potatoes up, mash with a mixer add butter, brown sugar and maple syrup to taste. Place in baking dish - I use a square cake pan - top with mini marshmallows. Just before serving pop in the oven to puff up the marshmallows. If you want, you can make the dish the night before leaving off the marshmallows. Warm up the dish of mashed sweet potatoes in the oven then add the marshmallows a few minutes before taking out of the oven.
The amount of sugar and syrup you add depends upon how sweet you want the dish to be. My husband likes them as a dessert, so I add more than if I was serving them as a savory dish to go with the turkey.

Thanks for this thread. I have to make them this year and I have no idea how to do it.

I can imagine the “dessert” version would be something like a crustless sweet potato pie.  |
