Sweet Potatoes

The perfect addition to any Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner – sweet potatoes! These are my all-time favorite holiday dish. Ooey, gooey, buttery, sugary sweet yams!

Ingredients

Scale

78 sweet potatoes or yams

1/2 cup butter (no margarine)

1 package large marshmallows

Instructions

1.) Step One: Thoroughly wash all of the sweet potatoes/yams.

12.) Step Twelve: Chunk up the remaining butter and place it evenly on the potatoes.
