I never understood the sweet potato casserole with marshmallow on top. Talk about overload!! Maybe those who came up with such recipes just didn’t like sweet potatoes in the first place?
I agree with you. I’ll maybe add a little butter and cinnamon, or just butter, but beyond that, it’s just too much. Well, except for the recipe that has a brown sugar and pecan topping that gets crunchy when baked - yeah, more like dessert than a side dish.
My maternal grandmother used to boil them, peel them, slice them into hockey-puck size, then fry them in butter till almost black on the outside. My sibs love them that way, but I don’t get it.
