Grandma's Spicy Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups cinnamon red hot candies
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 (10 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging the sweet potatoes in a substantial amount of water within a large saucepan, ensuring that they are completely covered.
2
Then, bring the mixture to a rolling boil and maintain it at a medium heat level until they become tender, approximately 25 minutes later.
3
Next, carefully pour off the excess water and relocate the sweet potatoes to a spacious casserole dish.
4
After that, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), the ideal temperature for this dish.
5
Then, combine the butter, brown sugar, red hot candies, and water in a medium-sized bowl.
6
Mix these ingredients together thoroughly until they are well combined.
7
Pour the resulting mixture over the sweet potatoes in the dish, covering them evenly.
8
Then, bake the dish for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until the sweet potatoes are soft and the candies have melted.
9
Finally, if desired, add marshmallows on top of the dish and return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, allowing them to toast perfectly.
