Below is a simple take on this classic dish.

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick)
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger 
• 4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to broil and arrange a rack in the lower third.
2. Melt the butter in a large pot with a lid over medium-high heat until it starts to foam. 
3. Add the water, salt, brown sugar and ginger.
4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil.
5. Add the sweet potatoes, stir to combine, and return to a boil. 
6. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer, stirring every few minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender (this usually takes about 20-25 minutes).
7. Transfer the sweet potatoes and any liquid to a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and spread in an even layer.
8. Sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the sweet potatoes. Broil until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Place the dish on a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes.
9. Serve and enjoy!
