❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
1. Can I use canned sweet potatoes instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use canned sweet potatoes. Drain them well and mash them. The texture may be a bit softer but it will work fine. You can skip the boiling step.
2. Do I have to peel the sweet potatoes?
Peeling is recommended for a smooth and creamy texture. The skin can be tough and stringy in this dish. If you prefer a more rustic texture you can leave the skin on.
3. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sweet potato mixture a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. When ready to serve, bake it and add the marshmallows at the end. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
4. Can I use large marshmallows instead of mini ones?
Yes, you can use large marshmallows. Cut them in half or keep them whole for a taller marshmallow layer. The baking time may be slightly longer to get them toasted.
5. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. The marshmallows will not be as crispy but the dish will still taste good.
